Residential

The client’s love of manor-style properties and intricate traditional detailing has led to a design that feels historic yet contemporary.
The biggest issue with 2d plans and 3d images is that our clients struggle to understand the designs concept and when you are paying thousands of pounds on a building project this is not good enough. We use virtual reality as part of the design process to show you options and allow you to walk around the proposals as if you would in real life. You get a sense of how the completed building will feel and the sense of space.

We have been delighted about the way Grant and the team at CBBA, have understood our aspirations for our additional space, and how they have translated that into a building design that we are really excited about. Grant is really great to work with. He got us effortlessly through the planning process and he and the team are highly recommended by us. We look forward to working with them as our project is realised. Martyn & AlessandraPosted on Google JasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a fantastic experience with CBB Architects planning our single storey extension. With this being the first project like this that we have undertook, we felt we were in great hands since Grant was informative and always responded quickly to any questions. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and offered his own advice and creative ideas that really improved the final design. We would have no hesitation in recommending CBB architects.Posted on Google Mohammed AzamuddinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Grant was genuinely brilliant. I needed an extremely quick turn around for planning permission and listed buildings advice. He was so professional and approachable. I genuinely couldn't recommend Cameron Bosque Brookes Architects more highly.Posted on Google Harry GreshamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our trusted surveyor recommended CBB.We worked with Oliver who helped us design our extension and reconfigure our internal floor plan to make the most of the space. Very happy with the outcome. Oliver was responsive to telephone and email queries and had the know-how to navigate the planning process with us. We would use Oliver and CBB again in the future and would recommend them to friends, family and colleagues.Posted on Google valentina ruffoloTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an outstanding experience working with Grant Cameron from Cameron Bosque Brookes Architects. From the first conversation, he was exceptionally kind, attentive, and genuinely listened to our needs and constraints. His approach was pragmatic and solution-oriented, consistently translating my vision into thoughtful, buildable designs without compromising on quality or aesthetics. Communication was seamless providing clear cost transparency and smart value-for-money. I would recommend them to anyone seeking a client-focused, reliable, and budget-conscious architect.
Surviving examples often feature timber-framed construction, visible on some of the older, converted coaching houses along the main roads. In Georgian times Buntingford flourished as a stagecoach hub in the 18th century, leading to the construction of many Georgian-era buildings. These are characterized by their symmetrical design, multi-pane sash windows, and red brickwork.
During the Victorian period as with many English towns, the Victorian era brought new construction, with styles ranging from modest terraced houses to more elaborate public buildings. Victorian architecture often features decorative brickwork, bay windows, and slate roofs. Several of Buntingford’s prominent structures are historically significant. For instance, the historic George Inn was mentioned in Samuel Pepys’ diary during the 17th century. On the High Street is the heart of Buntingford and the best place to see the town’s historic character. Many of the old coaching houses and historic buildings now operate as shops and residential properties.
The Church of St. Peter, located on the High Street, showcases some of the town’s older religious architecture. In the surrounding countryside of Buntingford barn conversions are another notable architectural element, preserving rural structures by adapting them for modern living while often maintaining original features. Nearby villages within the East Hertfordshire district contain many examples of traditional brick and flint buildings and historic rural architecture.
