Ercle Architects

At Ercle we align the vision of each client with our unerring passion for pioneering contemporary architecture. Combining the worlds of architecture, technology and interior design to create buildings with character both inside and out, our talented team of architects deliver inspirational properties throughout the South West and beyond. Our dedication to creating responsible buildings which beautifully enhance their surroundings is matched only by our reputation for excellence. Client-led, trailblazing designs with a focus on detail, the Ercle hallmark of quality is clearly defined.

Our team of talented contemporary architects use the latest innovations in design to curate harmonised contemporary living spaces with sustainability at their core. Our forward-thinking, holistic approach to building design means that we first consider orientation, mass and form to gain sustainable benefits from the outset.

We adopt a Passivhaus approach, championing high-quality, intelligently-designed construction which is certified through an internationally recognised, rigorous quality assurance process. We create comfortable and energy efficient properties with a strong connection to their surroundings for clients who care for the environment and sustainability.

We work closely with trusted contractors who share our values, and who are well-versed in the challenges of planning and conservation. Our deep understanding of the planning process means we are able to provide relevant precedents that support applications. This detailed work undertaken at the start of the process is crucial and makes all the difference to the success of the application. We remain dedicated to the project from conception to completion, which is crucial to drive your project forwards successfully.

  • Using Building Information Modelling (BIM) to generate a 3D model of your property means we can assess how it will look and function from the outset, remedying potential mistakes before arriving on site. We can even link the model to a VR headset so you can walk around your building before it's built.

  • We work sympathetically with the building to bring about a space which looks forwards whilst not forgetting its past. We love incorporating modern insertions into a historical setting to show the clear definition between old and new.
