INTERVIEW
including tennis, gymnastics and swimming. victoria and adam have firm plans to stay in the area, even after the children grow up, although they do have thoughts about living in a remote cottage on Dartmoor for a while, after retirement of course. Adam is now a director of the architectural practice founded some 35
years ago by his father. BBH Architects continues to operate from its Duke Street office in Dartmouth and there are now two directors, an office manager and eight staff, including architects, technicians and placement students – lots of people at various stages of the profession learning from each other. Adam said: “We are a provincial practice and so work with a variety of residential properties, private developers and occasionally a wider range of public and commercial projects as they come along. As you can imagine, we have a fair share of coastal and waterfront properties with which we get involved, although we are always keen to support rural development where appropriate and work extensively on barn conversions, rural property refurbishments and agricultural buildings which will always be an important feature of our surrounding countryside. We are proud to be able to support and assist rural areas in this way
and have gained huge experience with local planning policy and skills in sensitive design and conservation over the years. around 70/80 per cent of our work is, I suppose within a 30-mile radius, from Exeter to Plymouth and the South Hams in-between, but we are also keen to travel for work and keep abreast of opportunities throughout the South West, occasionally spreading further afield with completed projects in London, Bristol, Surrey and Dorset and so anything’s potentially possible in our minds.” For more information on BBH Architects see www.
