Carolyn Gillians

About Us

We are a small enthusiastic and friendly practice, specialising in home design, renovation, remodelling, sustainable and listed buildings. Our principal architect, Carolyn Gillians, is registered with the Architects Registration Board (ARB) and chartered with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). Carolyn describes her career below :

 

“At the age of fourteen, I spent my school work-experience with Lyons+Sleeman+Hoare Architects in Camberley, who inspired me to begin my career in architecture. With the exception of a fascinating exchange to Vienna and the Ukraine, I carried out my studies locally at the University of Portsmouth and qualified as an architect in 2002.

 

Locally I have worked for Parnell Design Partnership in Havant, PRP Architects in Southampton and Martin Critchell Architects and Joanna Jefferson Architects in Chichester.  I have also worked in London and  spent six months working in New Zealand, during a sabbatical travelling the world.  As a result, I have designed and managed a wide variety of projects from small domestic projects to large commercial and retail schemes; from modern contemporary buildings to listed stately homes.

 

This background has given me many skills, from design to technical construction detailing; from working with planners and building inspectors to learning how to really listen to clients. These skills have been invaluable in setting up HampshireArchitect”.
