Profile
Peter Kent started his Practice soon after leaving Bristol University in 1981, while at the same time working with his sister and brother-in-law in their Practice. Peter then spent some years as the Chief Architect to a Housing Developer, specialising in individually designed developments of houses up to 8000 sq ft in area, while at the same time maintaining the ‘home’ Practice for private and developer clients.
The work load grew to the extent that in 1996 Peter was able to devote all his time to the Practice, and has continued since then meeting the needs of a wide range of clients, from large housing and commercial developers to race horse breeders and trainers to householders wanting a imaginative extension.
The Practice has deliberately stayed small, working from home and able to devote personal attention to all projects. It currently comprises Peter, the Architect, Clare, the Practice Administrator and Landscape designer, and Caroline, a Part 1 Architecture student, and we have access to professional outside assistance as required. The Practice is a member of WessexDesignHouse – a locally based organisation of building professionals offering a ‘joined up design and construction service to clients in the South of England
The Practice undertakes all private sector building forms, but has become known for Housing, Equestrian and small commercial projects in an area ranging across the South of England.
The Practice is a RIBA Chartered Practice (link to RIBA Chartered Practice website) and carries full Professional Indemnity Insurance. Peter is also an Associate Member of the Royal Society for Public Health and is qualified to act as a CDM Coordinator under the Construction(Design and management) Regulations 2007.
Peter is also a member of the Green Register of Construction Professionals, and has a firm commitment to sustainable design, evidenced by the Zero-Carbon office from which the Practice operates in the centre of Wiltshire. |
