Expert Architecture
Architecture is one of my profound passions. With over 20 years of experience, I am dedicated to helping clients implement their visions. My focus is on understanding their specific needs, ensuring that each space is functional while integrating design elements that enhance the building, site, and its surroundings.
Based in the village of Old, Lucy Tomkins Architecture proudly serves Northamptonshire, Leicestershire, and the surrounding counties. My expertise spans residential new builds, extensions, and alterations, including listed buildings, barn conversions, agricultural and equestrian structures, and commercial projects including restaurants and retail spaces. I also actively pursue site development opportunities.
I take a careful and practical approach, focusing on details and accuracy from the first consultation meeting with you through to completion. I aim to fully support my clients, offering professional advice on every aspect of the project, and turning the concept into reality with expertise and inspiration.
‘Lucy provided an extraordinary architectural service when I built my house. During our meetings and discussions Lucy listened to my ideas and provided fresh insight and creative solutions, demystifying the initially daunting process of self-build. Lucy helped me to make my perfect forever-home a reality and I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone embarking on a self-build project.’

We have engaged Lucy’s architectural services for a number of projects at our home, most recently the conversion and adaptation of a barn with lantern roofed link room extension. She expertly created designs to complement our brief then successfully applied for planning and listed building consents given our home’s listed status, sensitively satisfying the Council’s officers’ expectations at first instance on each submission. Lucy also engaged the necessary consultants for archaeological, structural and building regulations needs.
Lucy managed the tender process with selected building companies, then worked closely with the chosen builders S Walker Building Contractor Limited throughout the project, with a detailed schedule of meetings on site, minuted and with associated action points, all delivered to budget.
We greatly valued her enthusiasm, high level of skill and attention to detail to create the additional accommodation for our home which we have since greatly enjoyed and benefited from. We would highly recommend her services to her prospective clients. ‘

We engaged Lucy to design for us a single story kitchen and family room extension to our home and we were delighted with the outcome. Her professional input and advice was invaluable throughout.

‘I built my home a few years ago, it was the first new build I had undertaken so was therefore slightly overwhelmed to say the least. I wouldn’t have known where to begin. However, we had managed to get full planning permission at the stage when Lucy joined as the architectural designer and I needn’t have worried about the build as she assisted professionally throughout the entire project, liaising closely with the builders and myself throughout. I would be happy to recommend Lucy to anyone thinking of building a new property.’
