Architects in Brighton & Hove creating Design-Led Homes and Developments with planning expertise

Architectural Services in Brighton, Hove & Sussex:

At Hampson Architects, we help homeowners, developers and investors turn ideas into buildable, profitable and well-designed projects.
 Based in Brighton & Hove, we work across Sussex and the Lake District, specialising in residential architecture, development planning and feasibility advice.

We’re known for being design-led architects who also understand planning and viability.
That combination means we can help homeowners create inspiring spaces and developers unlock the full potential of their sites.

Planning Applications

We manage the entire planning process, from drawings and the submission to council liaison and negotiation.

Our experience with both residential and multi-unit developments ensures smoother approvals and better outcomes.

Site Appraisals & Feasibility Studies

Before investing in design or land, we can assess development capacity, planning constraints and financial viability.

Whether you’re a homeowner planning an extension or a developer assessing a site, we’ll provide clear advice on what’s achievable.

Concept & Architectural Design

We develop thoughtful, modern designs that balance aesthetics, budget and function.

From a single home remodel to a new residential development, we create buildings that work beautifully and make commercial sense.

Pre-Application & Planning Strategy

We often recommend early dialogue with local authorities.

We prepare and submit pre-application enquiries to get feedback before committing to a full application thus saving time and reducing risk.

Design Review Panels

For larger or sensitive sites, we prepare and present to the Design Review Panel, ensuring your scheme is well understood and supported at an early stage.

Post-Refusal Advice & Appeals

If you’ve had a refusal, we’ll analyse the issues, prepare revised drawings or a planning appeal, and work with the local authority to find a successful route forward.

3D Visualisation

We produce realistic 3D renders and visuals for planning, marketing and investment presentations — showing your project at its best.
