Hampshire Architects
Established Hampshire Architects
We’re an RIBA Chartered practice based in the heart of Hampshire, working from our thoughtfully restored studio in a Grade II listed building in Fareham’s Conservation Area.
Hampshire is where we started, and it holds a special place in our hearts. We have a deep, working knowledge of local planning policies, consultant networks and trusted contractors – relationships we’ve built over many years. This insight helps us guide your project smoothly and confidently, avoiding unnecessary delays and ensuring a calm, efficient process from start to finish.
At Fingerprint Studios, we design buildings that feel personal and purposeful.
Our goal is to bring your ideas to life with creativity, clarity and technical care – whether you’re planning a home extension, a swimming pool, a new build, or a sensitive refurbishment. No matter how imaginative the brief, we’ll find a practical, beautiful way to make it work.
We believe good architecture should respond to the people who use it — rooted in place, filled with light, and tailored to how life is actually lived. That thinking runs through everything we do, from early concept to final detail.
If that sounds like the kind of process you’d value, we’d love to hear your plans.
Come in, Let’s Talk Architecture
You’re always welcome to visit our studio in Fareham, Hampshire – it’s where we plan, collaborate and bring ideas to life. That said, much of our time is spent out on site, working closely with clients, managing projects, meeting contractors and shaping spaces in real time.
If you’d like to speak to us or arrange a visit, we recommend booking in advance.

Technical Design That Solves Problems Before They Start
We combine imaginative thinking with deep technical understanding so the spaces we design aren’t just beautiful on paper, they’re buildable in the real world.
Our technically minded approach means we can:
Turn complex briefs into elegant, achievable solutions
Design around site limitations, structural constraints, or planning nuances
Reduce risk, cost and frustration by spotting challenges early
We believe the best architecture blends personality with precision. Whether you’re dreaming big or working with tight parameters, we’ll help you get the most out of your space – practically, sustainably and beautifully.
Trusted Relationships That Help Projects Run Smoothly
Thoughtful Residential Architecture Rooted in Hampshire Life
From barn conversions to bespoke new builds, we design homes across Hampshire that are tailored to real life — and built to last.

Barn conversions and rural transformations

Sustainable upgrades to older properties
Interior architecture and spatial planning
Intelligent Commercial Design That Delivers Practicality Without Compromise
Our commercial architecture combines efficiency, usability and strong visual identity — creating spaces that don’t just look the part, but work flawlessly for the people who use them every day.
Whether it’s an office fit-out, hospitality venue or multi-use development, we design with a clear understanding of real-world constraints — from regulations to branding and flow.
We regularly deliver commercial spaces across Hampshire and beyond, including:
Office and co-working environments
Retail interiors and branded spaces
Hospitality and leisure design
Mixed-use developments and refurbishments
A Selection Of Our Recent Hampshire Projects
We love to work local and have completed work on many architecture projects across Hampshire.
A complete upgrade and overhaul of the building was undertaken to bring the Victorian building up to modern standards.
Our task was to elevate the timeless style of a traditional house through a sensational extension that seamlessly blended the classic with the modern.
A unique extension that saw the retention of the footprint of the original bungalow and increased the size of the dwelling tenfold.

Where we work across Hampshire
Hampshire has always been the foundation of our practice – it’s where our studio began and where many of our early projects took shape.
Our architectural work spans towns and villages across Hampshire – from rural barn conversions to contemporary extensions and commercial refurbishments. We have dedicated location pages that explore our experience in key areas:
Fareham: our home base, where many of our projects begin.
Winchester: known for its heritage buildings and conservation areas.
Petersfield: with a mix of countryside homes and new developments.
Bishop’s Waltham: where we’ve delivered sensitive, characterful residential design.
South Downs: where our landscape-led approach and planning expertise come into their own.
We also regularly work in Alton, East Meon, Waterlooville and beyond. If your project is based in Hampshire, chances are we know the area and the planning policies, well.
