About Us
Welcome to Build On Architects - Specialists in Architectural Design and Construction.
We are a UK-based practice of architects dedicated to providing comprehensive design and construction services. Specializing in transforming spaces one project at a time, we bring a fresh approach to design and add value to every project, including new builds, alterations, improvements, and refurbishments.
Our Approach
At Build On Architects, we are hands-on architects with our roots firmly in construction. We merge practical, hands-on experience with creative design inspiration for each project, providing unique solutions tailored to individual needs.
With decades of experience working alongside builders, contractors, and subcontractors, we are perfectly positioned to understand the design and construction process, ensuring projects are delivered on time and within budget.
Our Mission
Our primary goal is to transform ordinary spaces into remarkable ones, adding value to every project for our clients. With a proven track record in obtaining planning consent, particularly on special or sensitive sites, we take pride in crafting designs that align with the local environment while challenging the ordinary.
Collaboration
We operate a process-driven design approach that embeds co-creation with clients and building users in every project we undertake. Collaborating closely with carefully selected consultants, building professionals, and, most importantly, the client, we deliver a holistic design approach tailored to each project.
With years of experience and trusted partnerships, we can recommend professional appointments, yet we are always happy to work with the client’s preferred choices. Additionally, we collaborate with external design peers who critique our concepts to ensure a robust design.
We also work closely with interior and landscape architects, whose specific expertise enriches our design studio, enhancing the overall quality and coherence of our projects.
Architect and Founder of Build On Architects
Bradley Roast is the director and founder of Build On Architects, establishing the practice in 2021. His passion for architecture began while working on-site, building houses in Essex and London. This hands-on experience and practical mindset form the cornerstone of Build On Architects' approach, ensuring a deep understanding of how to deliver successful projects.
Bradley studied architecture at the University of East London (UEL) and later at Westminster University. After completing his degree, he began his career as an architectural assistant in 2013 at Craftworks (formerly John Smart Architects) in London. During his time there, he gained invaluable experience working on a diverse range of projects of varying scales. His role under the Architect Developer model, collaborating with an in-house construction team, cemented his understanding of the crucial relationship between design and construction.
Bradley contributed to award-winning projects such as The Chapel, Hyde Vale, and Southwark Park Road.
At Stolon Studio, Bradley served as the Project Architect for The Parks, a pioneering rural housing development in Herefordshire. This project focused on creating rural communities by renovating a dilapidated farm, showcasing Bradley's ability to integrate innovative design with community-focused solutions.
Bradley's passion lies in maximizing a site's potential through exceptional design and innovative construction methods. His practical experience and comprehensive understanding of the construction process are fundamental to the philosophy and success of Build On Architects.
