An architect & garden designer…

Man and woman sat looking at architecture plans

Crafting environments that are connected, purposeful, and truly reflective of each client’s vision with a holistic approach that goes beyond four walls to the landscape outside.  The practice takes on projects that are a mix of architecture and garden design or either of those disciplines, depending on the needs of the client.

Your home is your place in the world… it should be tailored to you.

Dan Lancaster trained first as an architect, gaining over 15 years professional experience in the field.  A deep interest and passion for nature, sustainability and gardening spurred a focus on inside-outside living when setting up the practice in 2020.

Extensive experience working with listed buildings and in conservation settings has nurtured a passion for re-use to create new special places with substance. The practice produces outcomes that are considerate, but look to the future through innovation and scope for adaptability.

The perfect combination of style & setting.

If you’re ready to bring your vision to life with thoughtful, impactful design, I would love to connect and discuss how I can help make it a reality.

Testimonials and other kind words.

  • "Dan provided a superb design for my house renovation and is now helping to create a beautiful garden. He went to great lengths to accommodate my wishes but went beyond and provided some great creative suggestions that I would never have thought of, all of which worked out very well. Highly recommended!"

    Jeremy Colin

  • "It was a very good experience working with Dan Lancaster on my extension. He was intuitive and responsive to what I needed and wanted, and came up with several lovely plans - which when rejected by planners (conservation area), he then adapted beautifully. He was always positive and encouraging. I had problems with National Grid, which he helped with - over and above his remit, but it alleviated my stress! I would highly recommend working with him."

    Tricia Durdey

  • "Dan has combined creativity and practicality to transform our boring, mediocre garden into a beautiful outside space that we want to spend time in. His unique and imaginative design has been realised in a way that is sympathetic to our surroundings and our wishes. Thank you Dan."

    Tracey Norton

  • "Dan was great to work with - he listened to what I wanted from the garden and came up with some great ideas. He was able to work with me regarding placement, planting and colour schemes - the whole lot! I found the whole design experience very positive and can recommend Dan. The before and after photos don't do it justice - it's all bedded in now and looking fantastic. Thank you Dan."

    Shirley Spratt

  • "We asked Dan to produce a plan for our back garden. He listened to what we wanted and suggested which of our ideas he thought would work well and which would not, inputting his expertise along the way. Based on this he drew up some wonderful plans. An unexpected change in circumstances means we will not be putting these into action at our current property but I would not hesitate in using Dan again on any future project."
