What do we do?
We are principally an architectural design company but manage several large construction projects per year as well as workng with other local builders to deliver projects.

What makes Good Design?
The secret of a beautiful and practical home is excellent design and a perfect balance of form and function. By combining fundamental architectural design principles with modern technology and innovative products & construction techniques the results can be truly amazing even on a modest budget. A well designed building or living space should be:

- Aesthetically pleasing with a welcoming and relaxing feel. Light, and in particular natural daylight, plays an extremely important part in making a space feel inviting.

- Practical, functional and user friendly especially for everyday spaces such as kitchens and bathrooms.

- Harmonious with its surroundings taking into account the local style or vernacular and other features such as the adjacent buildings, landscape and specific geographical location.

- Constructed where possible from sustainable or ecologically sound materials.

Architectural Styles
At Heritage we are passionate about traditional design and in particular have found enormous inspiration in particular from the Arts & Crafts movement. The Arts & Crafts style evolved in the late 1800's and is essentially a mix of styles including Victorian, Georgian, Edwardian and even earlier periods including medieval English architecture.

In the South East, and Surrey in particular, there are great number of examples of Arts and Crafts buildings from such great architects as Edwin Lutyens, Phillip Webb, Charles Voysey, M. H Baillie Scott and others.

Due to our location we are inextricably linked with the Arts & Crafts style. At first glance this may seem to be somewhat insular until we consider that these vernacular styles were very much a blueprint for other parts of England, and indeed the World. In-fact it could reasonably be argued that the Arts and Crafts movement was actually born in Surrey.
