Architects in Hove
Hove’s wide avenues, elegant townhouses, and peaceful residential streets offer rich potential for contemporary architecture. At Stewart Nicholson Architects, we design homes that respond beautifully to their context enhancing the character of Hove while delivering thoughtful, modern spaces that improve how people live.
Whether it’s a seafront apartment renovation, a bold new build near Hove Park, or West Hove, we bring creativity, precision, and deep local knowledge to every project.
Extensions, Conversions & Renovations in Hove
Our work across Hove includes extensions to Edwardian and mid-century homes, loft conversions, and full interior refurbishments. These projects often involve maximising space and daylight, reworking outdated layouts, and enhancing the connection to gardens and terraces.
We approach every extension with clarity understanding how to improve flow and function while elevating the architectural language of the existing home. Whether it’s a clean-lined rear extension with full-width glazing or a carefully detailed loft conversion with coastal views, we design with both elegance and practicality in mind.
We also work on complete home renovations in Hove, often including sustainability upgrades, structural reconfigurations, and bespoke interior detailing.
New Builds in Hove
Hove offers exciting opportunities for one-off homes, including infill plots and garden developments. We specialise in bespoke new builds that feel at home in their setting whether that’s within a quiet residential street or overlooking the Sussex coastline.
Our new build process includes early feasibility advice, full concept design, planning applications, detailed technical drawings, and build support. We create bold, sustainable homes that blend strong architectural identity with practical everyday living.
Conservation & Heritage Work in Hove
Much of Hove is located within conservation areas such as Brunswick Town, The Avenues, and Cliftonville. These areas demand a sensitive design approach and careful negotiation with local planning authorities.
We’re experienced in designing within and adjacent to listed buildings and heritage settings. Our work combines contemporary interventions with respect for historic fabric resulting in projects that feel harmonious, refined, and worthy of their setting.
Our knowledge of Hove’s planning context helps us navigate restrictions and deliver high-quality outcomes.
Generous with his time, forthcoming with his extensive knowledge and sound advice, we moved smoothly through the creative process. Stewart made suggestions for design innovations we would never have thought of, while remaining open to our ideas and mindful of our budget.
