ABOUT US
BTA Architects (formerly Barrie Taylor Associates) was founded in 1970 by Barrie Taylor.
David Sharp, joined the Practice in 1988 initially as an Architectural Assistant and after completing his Part 1, 2 and 3 studies was elected to membership of the RIBA in 1994. He became an Associate and in turn a Director of the firm, ultimately taking over the reins from Barrie as Principal and owner of the Practice.
Although most active throughout the South and Wessex regions we can demonstrate successfully completed projects in the Capital and as far afield as the Yorkshire Dales and the States of Jersey.

"David at bta architects was fantastic from when we first contacted him.
He came to visit us at home, with no obligation.
He immediately understood what we were trying to achieve and the result is truly wonderful.
We could never have hoped to gain the fantastic space which we now have without David’s input."

"Extending a tiny kitchen on the back of a small terraced house without rear access was always going to be a challenge; all the regulatory issues and the many complications that inevitably arise when developing an old property were overcome with David's expertise, patience, and good humour. The result is a transformation: a larger, more practical kitchen flooded with sunshine, and a new building that is entirely in sympathy with the old."

"Our project took five years from start to finish. David listened to our ideas, took the time to understand what we wanted and worked hard to give us our dream home. We are thrilled with the end result and cannot thank David enough."

"We are absolutely delighted with the alterations and refurbishment of our house, which you so cleverly designed for us. Family and friends that visit and knew our house before the works, are always so impressed by what has been achieved. It is also a great house to live in, now capturing the natural light and taking advantage of the views that existed, but could not be seen previously from inside the house.
From the start we were impressed by your vision of what could be achieved and the different options available to us. Your guidance in helping us to finalise our choices was always helpful and mindful of what we could afford to spend. We have no hesitation in recommending your architectural services to others, as we have done so already and we know you are now working for a neighbour further down our road." "If you are looking for an innovative, imaginative and intelligent architect, then we cannot recommend David Sharp of BTA Architects more highly. He has completely re-designed our house, inside and out, moving a staircase, creating a gallery and making two further bedrooms upstairs, and he designed a wonderful conservatory and the re-building and conversion of an old barn outside. He listens to what one wants, and is thoroughly concerned that our wishes are fulfilled. He responds quickly to queries and is always there to answer questions. All in all, we have nothing but praise."
