WWD
In its 25th year, WWD is an architectural and project management practice based near Exeter. Its services include strategic development advice, building design and planning consultancy, procurement and project management, along with general development advice.
This dynamic and longstanding company has a varied workload, with projects ranging from residential alterations, high-value bespoke homes, corporate identity projects, motor dealerships and historic conservation work. This work is undertaken nationally, but with an emphasis on the South West peninsula.
When planning alterations to your property, the team at WWD suggests taking the earliest possible strategic advice, and most certainly consulting someone who knows what they are doing. Planning has become a complex legal and policy-driven process.
A top design tip when considering alterations is to ensure that your building design meets your requirements and that it is costed during its evolution. This will help to avoid disappointment.
WWD is involved with projects from home-owners who have recently moved and from those who are looking to renovate. The company occasionally tells a potential client that their upgrade ideas may not produce a worthwhile return, which can prompt a move rather than an extension. WWD feels it should be honest with its clients from the outset, even if that advice does not produce a commission.
In terms of trends in building, single-skin, high-insulation timber-frame construction without the use of masonry is something WWD specialises in. It is a sustainable, fast and low-energy method of building where, often, all the materials come from quickly renewed sources and recycling processes. Coupled with wood-burning stoves, rainwater recovery, solar-energy gathering and LED lighting, interesting contemporary structures can be created that are most affordable. WWD has 'put its money where its mouth is’ and its own offices are built using exactly those techniques. This has produced a wonderful, yet simple, creative space.
