This is a deceptively simple moment

The first phase of scaffolding is coming down at Bradby Hall. And what’s being revealed is the result of a lot of careful work. For a project like this, the visible progress is only part of the story. Working with a Grade II listed building of this scale and complexity means making decisions based on the building itself — understanding its construction, its history and its significance, and responding carefully as existing fabric is exposed. That’s why our approach at Bradby

What Does the 2026 NPPF Mean for Sustainable Homes and Rural Development?

The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) changed in August 2026. For anyone looking to build, replace or add a home, particularly on a rural or constrained site, the changes are worth understanding. There has been plenty of discussion around the latest changes to the NPPF.

What our Clients Say

Caroline Bool,
Director of External Relations,
Lingfield College

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Habitat+, from the project idea conception, through the build and now admiring the finished project, they have been a joy to work with. Excellent communication, conscientious planning, tasteful design, environmentally considerate and on budget! I take great satisfaction knowing that we will be working together again in the near future.

Simon Brophy,
Estate Director, Haileybury

I have had the pleasure of working with Habitat+ since the practice was formed. I have worked closely with Tim on a number of high profile projects on Grade II and II* listed buildings.

The projects have been extremely complex in their nature, not least due to the constraints of working on listed properties. Habitat+ have provided exceptional architectural services throughout and have helped us deliver these projects on time, on budget and to an incredibly high standard, all whilst complying with the requirements of the conservation officer.

We continue to work with Habitat+ on a number of projects, including development of a 10 year Masterplan, and they are a key and trusted partner of the School.

Habitat+ guided us through the process of renovating and reconfiguring our 200 or so year old house, and we were so impressed with and grateful for their expertise and professionalism throughout. Whether it was creating various plan options for a new kitchen/living area or enhancing the energy efficiency of the building using appropriate materials and contractors, we felt absolutely safe in their hands, able to work together on designs, providing us with a very clear and detailed spec for our builders to work to, ensuring the quality was spot on and achieving the result we wanted, and we’re delighted with the result: on schedule and on budget. It was great to work with Tim and the team - huge thanks!
