Design-led residential architecture across Ingatestone and the surrounding villages.

Studio 40 is a RIBA Chartered architecture practice based in nearby Billericay. We combine architecture, interiors and project management, working with homeowners across Ingatestone and the surrounding villages who want a genuinely considered approach to how they live. Not just a planning application.

Ingatestone is a village with a strong sense of character, sitting within the Brentwood borough planning area and surrounded by Green Belt land that shapes what is possible for homeowners looking to extend or rebuild. The village has a number of listed buildings and sits close to several Conservation Areas, meaning that projects here often require careful handling of the planning process from the outset.

Working in and around Ingatestone means understanding Brentwood Council's policies on Green Belt development, extensions to existing dwellings and the design standards expected in a village setting. We bring that knowledge to every project, and we are honest from the first conversation about what the planning picture looks like and what is realistically achievable.

If you are thinking about extending, refurbishing or rebuilding your home in Ingatestone, Mountnessing, Margaretting or the surrounding area, we would like to hear about it.

Our minimum construction value is £200,000. Full details of our fees and how we work are on our Costs page.
