Architects Oxford | Professional RIBA Chartered Architects

Building a new home gives you the opportunity to create a property that fully suits your lifestyle, future plans and personal design preferences. At PPA Architecture, we provide professional architectural services for new build homes in Oxford, helping homeowners, landowners and developers bring residential projects to life from initial concept through to construction.

Whether you are planning a one-off contemporary home, replacing an existing property or developing a residential plot, we work closely with you to create a practical, attractive and well-considered design that balances aesthetics, planning requirements and buildability.

New Build Home Design Tailored to You

Every client approaches a new build project differently. Some are looking to create a forever family home, while others may want to maximise development potential on a plot of land. Our approach focuses on understanding how you want the property to function day-to-day while creating a design that complements its surroundings.

We can assist with:

Contemporary new build homes
Traditional and heritage-inspired homes
Replacement dwellings
Self-build projects
Small residential developments
Sustainable and energy-efficient home design

Our designs aim to balance practicality, natural light, layout efficiency and visual appeal while helping clients navigate the planning process as smoothly as possible.

Planning Permission for New Build Homes in Oxford

Planning approval is often one of the most important stages of a new build project. Oxford and the surrounding areas can present unique planning considerations, including conservation areas, green belt restrictions and local design policies.

We prepare detailed planning drawings and supporting information designed to give your application the strongest possible foundation. Throughout the process, we help you understand planning requirements, design constraints and potential opportunities for the site.

Our testimonials

We are very pleased with the job and it is hard to believe it hasn’t always been part of the house.

Great job, thank you, we are really pleased with the design you have come up with…very helpful and thorough.

Of course we’d be delighted to talk to [potential clients] and let them know how pleased we’ve been.

My wife and I have had a look at the plans and they are all amazing.

The process of building our own house was such a privilege and delight! We now enjoy living in a home that PPA Architecture helped us fashion. It fits us wonderfully as a family and brings much delight and pleasure to all of us each day.

As well as being very chuffed with the contractor’s work to bring the plans to life, we are very pleased indeed with your barrel roof. The height and space is great, and it looks brilliant from the outside – much better than the majority of dormers on our road!

We would love you to drop in some time this week so you can see how everything works now it is lived in. You have done a great job – the house looks amazing and works really well too!
