THE TEAM Our highly skilled and experienced team of around 160 staff work across our Winchester and London offices, with roles including Architects, Technologists, Urban Designers, Conservation Specialists, Consultants, an Historical Researcher, Project Managers, Graphic Designers and Administrative support staff. ADAM Architecture is committed to promoting equality and diversity in all its activities to promote inclusive processes, practices and culture.

OUR APPROACH The design process starts with understanding the context of the site and the surrounding landscape. This ensures that we maximise a plot’s potential.

We often include local cultural references and always focus on a holistic approach to sustainability. As well as considering every architectural detail we ensure that we understand all the ways in which the client might want to use their house. We always think of a new house as part of a client’s wider story.

OUR WORK IN THE CARIBBEAN

7 COCO P OINT, BARBUDA Shaped by Barbuda’s tropical maritime climate, combining architecture, landscape and technology to create a resilient and comfortable coastal residence. Rooted in local vernacular traditions, the project offers a refined and adaptable approach to contemporary coastal living.

A SECLUDED BEACH FRONT HOME Set on Barbuda’s shining shore, this beachfront home has been envisaged as a sequence of spaces that make the most of the prevailing winds, respond to the variation in light throughout the day, and, most importantly, address the client’s detailed brief.

Every space is tuned to the island’s rhythm, a home designed to breathe with the sea, admitting into the interiors the cooling breeze which carries with it the scent of salt and the sound of gently cresting waves. This design was prepared in collaboration with Mark Cooney Architect.

NEW LUXURY HOME, ANTIGUA This new home of approximately 7,000 square feet cascades down the landscape towards the sea. The understated vernacular design of the entrance contrasts with the dramatic and more modern interpretation of traditional culture on the sea-facing elevation.

Solar shading and modelling, passive ventilation, and thermal mass are just a few of the environmental designs integrated into this home.
