Appreciating the natural and built environments...

My name is Daniel Bland and I offer a refreshing approach to architecture, conservation and the traditions of building. Providing high quality design solutions alongside a responsive and individual service.

A little more about me

I worked alongside my father which gave me a great practical foundation for understanding construction and an appreciation of attention to detail.

My approach and services

My approach is to create simple practical spaces that are well designed, examples of workmanship and strongly routed in the surrounding context.

What clients say about my work...

  • I can’t thank Daniel enough for his hard work and dedication to over seeing my recent grant aided renovation project. From start to finish, the attention to detail, researching the original architectural design, communication with contractors ensuring that the work was done to the highest standards, to the final completion of snagging lists.

    Daniel is very easy to work with, he listens, is forthcoming with viable options, and is committed to seeing the work through to the end. I will look forward to working with you again.

  • We presented Daniel with a challenging project to create access to our landlocked property. Due to the nature of the property, this involved the construction of a bridge from the highway. Throughout the process there was strong resistance from the neighbouring properties and the Parish Council. Despite this Daniel remained professional and was extremely calming throughout, suggesting numerous alternative solutions to achieve our goal.

    He represented us at the final committee meeting and successfully achieved planning consent for our plans. We would definitely use Daniel for any future projects and have no hesitation in recommending him.

    Martin and Alison Verity
  • Daniel has been an invaluable asset when designing an extension to turn our house into a home. He was always happy to answer my questions, took time to explain and kept me informed at every step of the process. His diligence ensured the proposals were granted planning approval despite the challenges of a Conservation Area and several neighbourhood objections. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

  • We have worked with Dan on several projects now. Dan’s knowledge of listed buildings is impressive and we really appreciate and respect his thorough diligence and constant drive to refine details. His calm demeanour means he takes the stress out of projects for us and he is never scared to challenge us to push the design boundaries.
