our work
We're always busy producing new work, but here is a sample of what we've worked on...
about us
We are Rachel Maude and Benjamin Edwards,
the duo that form Maude and Edwards Architects.
​
Before moving back to Bury St. Edmunds (Ben was a childhood local), we both worked in London then Melbourne, Australia. After an amazing period of travel, in 2017 we made the decision to base our practice in Suffolk.
​
Our focus and passion has always been for residential architecture, in particular: new build dwellings, refurbishment and extension works. We have gained extensive experience of all project stages, meaning we can take your needs and form these into a reality. Although we focus on projects in Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Essex and Norfolk, we are happy and willing to travel anywhere within the UK.
​
Our aim is to keep the entire process fun and exciting and above all else: easy to understand. We minimise technical jargon, maximise honesty and pride ourselves on design excellence whilst keeping budgets and clients needs a priority.
We are both fully qualified Architects and registered with both ARB (Architects Registration Board) and RIBA (Royal Institue of British Architects).
our process
1. concept
2. design
3. documentation
4. build
The first stage of any new project is about agreeing an overall approach and strategy. After an initial meeting, we will sketch, model and collaborate with you until we have produced something you love and will meet your very personal needs.
Once we have a clear direction we next have to refine the design. It is important to not rush or skip this stage but we will work efficiently to finalise the spacial arrangements, materials and form. At this point, we will apply for any Planning Consents (if applicable).
For the builders to be able to price the job, and ensure that the project is executed to the highest quality, we will produce for you a package of drawings and information that is considered and thorough. With this, we aim to minimise any cost or site 'surprises'.
The most exciting stage of the project - seeing it become a reality! We will liase with the chosen contractor and consultants to ensure the job is procured as swiftly as possible. We can also take care of all the paperwork and project management too.
