DPE Architecture was founded in 2019 by Douglas Evans, with a clear purpose: to create thoughtful, beautifully crafted spaces that genuinely reflect the people who inhabit them.
We believe great architecture is never one-size-fits-all. Every project — regardless of scale — receives the same dedicated, bespoke service, guided by an unwavering attention to detail from initial concept through to completion.
Our work spans residential extensions, new builds, loft conversions and refurbishments, but what unites every project is our approach. We take the time to understand your site, your vision and your aspirations, shaping designs that feel entirely considered and completely your own.
Detail is at the heart of everything we do. Quality, in our view, is earned through craft — it begins on the drawing board and carries through to every decision made on site.
When it comes to historic and traditional buildings, we bring particular care and expertise. Our approach is precise and respectful — preserving what is valuable, restoring where needed, and introducing the new only where it genuinely enhances the whole.
Sustainability is not an add-on — it is integral to how we think and work. We collaborate closely with our clients to ensure every project leaves the lightest possible footprint, without ever compromising on design ambition.

We rarely do reviews but credit where credit is due. We would highly recommend Doug Evans who worked with us on a project at our home. He is a true professional and was a pleasure to deal with, in constant communication with us and had some innovative ideas that we would not have thought of. The project was completed on time and we are now enjoying our beautiful new space. You will not be disappointed. Thanks again Doug!Read More

We recently worked with DPE Architecture on our home extension, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the very first meeting, they took the time to listen to our ideas and really understood what we wanted to achieve given the unique design of our property. They came up with a design that not only made the best use of the space but also added real character and value to our home whilst keeping in touch with the local areas charm by using locally sourced materials and tradespersons.
Throughout the process, he was professional, approachable, and always happy to answer our questions or make adjustments when needed. They guided us through planning permissions, building regulations, and kept everything running smoothly with the builders.
The end result is even better than we imagined. The extension feels bright, spacious, and perfectly blends with the original house. It has truly transformed how we use our home day to day.
If you’re looking for an architect who combines creativity with practical knowledge and excellent communication, I’d wholeheartedly recommend DPE Architecture.Read More
