Who we are

Architects Isle of Wight

Woods Architects is a design-led residential architecture practice based on the Isle of Wight, with a satellite studio in London. We work with homeowners and developers to create buildings of lasting quality — from house extensions and loft conversions to new builds and sensitive listed building work.

With studios in Shanklin on the Isle of Wight and at 55 Whitfield Street in Fitzrovia, London, we bring the same personal service and design rigour to every project — wherever in the country it may be.

Houses

From modest single-storey extensions to substantial new builds, we design homes that work beautifully for the people who live in them.

We handle everything: design, planning applications, building regulations, and construction administration.

Renovation

A well-designed renovation transforms how you experience your home — improving flow, light, and the quality of every space. Renovations are that exciting middle ground of turning what your have into your dream environment. 

We bring the same design thinking to renovations as we do to new build projects, treating every project as a unique opportunity.

Interior Design

Interior architecture is about more than decoration — it is about the spatial quality, the light, and the relationship between inside and outside.space daily, whether its your home, office or business. we create timeless designs that last. 

We design interiors that are coherent with the architecture of the building, using materials and light to create spaces of lasting quality.

Fitout

Transforming an existing shell into a high-quality finished space requires precision and an eye for detail. We manage commercial and residential fitout projects end-to-end.

Our Process

Our process starts with the first conversation and continues through to construction guided by a deep understanding of client goals and site-specific opportunities.

Listen & Collaborate

Every project begins with a conversation. We take time to understand how you live, what you need, and what you aspire to — building a brief that guides every design decision that follows.

Great architecture is collaborative. We keep our clients closely involved throughout the process, so that every decision reflects your priorities.

We take those simple ideas, wants and dreams and turn them into a reality. The design stage can be both simple and complex, we have the skills & experience to navigate complexities of the planning system and get you to the best position with your project, creating something you love that’s buildable and affordable to you.

We prepare detailed construction drawings and specifications, and manage the contractor procurement process to ensure your project is delivered on time and within budget.

In this technical phase, Woods Architects develops floor plans, layouts, technical detailing, and material suggestions. We produce construction ready drawings, ready to collaborate with your builder, or we can move straight into construction with our in-house construction team. 

We stay involved until the very end — carrying out a snagging inspection and ensuring all defects are addressed before handover.
