Christopher Clayton Davis
Christopher is an award-winning AABC-accredited architect specialising in traditional design and construction. His expertise spans from heritage conservation, to sensitive additions to historic buildings and settings, and bespoke new work employing local architectural traditions.
His approach combines a rigorous understanding of architectural history, focusing on the cultural context and local heritage of each site. Christopher’s portfolio includes significant conservation and new build projects.
