Didacious Designs Architects, trading as DD Architects, was founded by Conrad Howard, a conservation architect accredited by both the RIBA and the IHBC. The practice offers a full or partial architectural service covering feasibility, design, conservation and eco design, from first consultation to completion, and combines design with a working knowledge of listed building, energy conservation and planning matters. It describes itself as a historic building consultancy with extensive experience of refurbishments and conservation area work. A signatory of Architects Declare, it favours materials of low embodied energy, timber construction and passive environmental control, and can call on engineers, surveyors and contractors as needed.
Suitable for: alterations, extensions and refurbishment of listed and historic buildings in Sussex, and low-carbon new build, where planning and conservation advice is needed alongside design.
Services: conservation architecture; listed building and planning applications; feasibility studies; eco design; historic building consultancy; on-site consultations; presentation and visualisation.
Location: Plumpton, East Sussex, covering Brighton and Sussex.
