Crafted, bespoke, high-performance Architecture, that doesn’t cost the Earth.
At Dig Architects, we design bespoke, sustainable homes across Cornwall and South Devon — combining deep local knowledge, thoughtful design and a clear, collaborative process.
We are architects with expert local knowledge
Based in Cornwall, Dig Architects specialise in bespoke residential architecture, unlocking opportunities across Cornwall and South Devon. With deep experience in coastal, rural and village settings, we design carefully crafted, high-performance homes that respond to the realities of their setting and don’t cost the Earth! Strong, collaborative relationships with local clients, craftsmen, consultants and trusted suppliers are central to how we work and to the success of every project. Our knowledge of construction is our specialism.
Producing sustainable, future proofed residential architecture
Sustainability and cost effectiveness are embedded from the outset. We design energy-efficient, low-carbon homes that are comfortable, resilient and economical to build and run – using passive design, fabric-first principles and robust detailing. Whether new-build houses or high-quality extensions and major refurbishments, we help client’s future-proof their homes for changing lifestyles, regulations and environmental demands. Net zero tends to come as standard. Every decision is made to maximise long-term performance and value, ensuring the best use of your budget without compromising design quality.
Helping realise your dream home in the South West
Great homes begin with listening. We take time to understand how you want to live and what will make the house feel unmistakably yours. Our architecture is contemporary, calm and context-driven, creating homes that feel grounded in their setting while elevating everyday life. The results are designs that are both aspirational and practical – spaces that work beautifully now, and age gracefully over time.
Delivering architecture through trust, communication and clarity
Successful projects are built on trust and clarity. Clients work directly with a single senior architect from first briefing through to completion on site, ensuring clear communication, careful coordination and experienced guidance at every stage – helping deliver well-built homes with no surprises.
Buildings that understand you, their context, and the skill of local craftsmen who put it all together.
