Pleased to announce that this beautiful barn has been Highly Commended by the Sussex Heritage Trust in their 2023 Awards. An early 17^th century grade 2 listed, six bay & single aisled barn in East Sussex, has been converted & restored as new residential home. Essential repairs and structural works have been undertaken to the oak frame and original stone walls rebuilt on new foundations. The contemporary internal fit out is supported on new reinforced floors, and floats free of the original oak frame and historic features.

The start of the new year was welcomed by receiving full Planning and Listed Building Consent for works to an existing 4 storey Grade II Listed residential property within RBKC conservation area.  The proposed scheme and granted consent is for construction of a two-storey rear infill extension to lower ground and upper ground floors; extension to the closet wing and; construction of new outbuilding in rear garden together with associated internal alterations.

JDA were appointed as lead architects, working alongside Heritage Consultants, Turley, and Planning Consultants, Spring Planning. Works to the property started in January 2023 and are due for completion August 2023.

St Peters Church Hall in St Leonards on Sea is Grade 2* listed and JDA have acquired consent to convert buildings into private live work residence.

We have just received Planning and Listed Building Consent for works to Wick Farm Barn in East Sussex. This Early 17^th century grade 2 listed, six bay single aisled barn, is to be converted to new residential home. Essential repairs and structural works have been undertaken to the oak frame and original stone walls rebuilt on new foundations. The contemporary internal fit out will float free of the original oak frame and historic features, creating a outstanding contemporary space within an historic setting.

Planning has been submitted for 4 houses within the Surrey Hills area. Each house has been designed, placed and orientated to maintain a sense of openness on the site and to give the impression they have ‘accumulated’ on the site. The mixed roofscape and variation in material palette assist with this affect. The forms and materials used reference the local vernacular, including the existing barns on site. The lower ground floors are partially sunken into the existing vernacular, to create minimal impact. For each house sustainability has been considered from concept and has shaped their orientation, massing and form.

We are delighted to announce that construction has completed on Hub on Hill in Rye.  On the site of a former ambulance station, JD Architects were commissioned by Rye, Winchelsea & District Hospital to design and build a community hub and day care centre. Therapy, social activity and respite will be provided in this contemporary building, set in landscaped garden with views across open countryside towards Rye. The design includes energy efficient and BREEAM level ‘excellent’ specification. The day care centre forms part of a larger scheme for a local hospital and care home development.

Phase 1 of the Mirdif Hills development in Dubai is almost complete. At 2 million square foot of residential development it’s one of our bigger projects. Phase 2 including a hotel, retail space and Piazza will be complete in 2020.
