Welcome to Roderick James Architects

Established in 1974 and based in Totnes, Devon, Roderick James Architects LLP specialise in contemporary architecture with a particular emphasis on space and light. We are especially known for the design of timber frame buildings and our work in sustainable design (since Roderick's role as a founder of the Centre for Alternative Technology at Machynlleth). We work nationwide and have also undertaken work in the Channel Islands, Ireland, France, Germany, Italy, Austria, USA, South Africa and the Caribbean. With our experience of designing several hundred individual houses we have developed a language and style of structure which is more subtle than first appears and gives our buildings a comfortable contemporary feel.

For over thirty years, we have established a network of like-minded carpenters, builders and other professionals who can provide the quality of work we expect without constant supervision. Alternatively, we are happy to work with your own team of builders or to assist and guide you if you are undertaking a self-build project.
