Every project is a combination of a multitude of factors. We believe that every project is unique and needs to the designed as such. Rumble Architects are passionate about understanding our clients needs and creating architecture that not only provides beautiful spaces but responds to the everyday life.
No.1
Architecture and design is about more then building and bolting on spaces. A successful building works as a whole. Designing from first principles allows to every project and building to be unravelled and assessed to discover how it can best respond to the clients needs and its location. Time spent early in the design process will allow for a coherent solution, adding value and avoiding future changes.
No.2
Bristol and the South West has a fascinating and varied geography and history. Fully understanding the location of each project is key to the design process at Rumble Architects. Location encompasses a host of natural and site factors such as orientation, sunpath, overshadowing, views and noise. The individual location also includes as range of subtler factors that are no less important. These include the local vernacular and history. Identifying the factors related to each individual project allow us to create buildings and architecture that is implicitly routed and responsive to its surroundings.
No.3
Light has the power to transform spaces and can not be underestimated. Light is an important tool in architecture and is at the forefront of every design we are a part of. Soft north light provides ideal conditions for working whilst strong south light can provide a visual and literal warmth. The play between light and dark can add drama and fun. Well placed glazing can turn spaces into bright, welcoming spaces that are a joy to be in. At Rumble Architects we pride ourselves on a strong understanding and experience of incorporating light into the design, and strive to create spaces that are a pleasure to occupy.
No.4
The material palette of a project knit a scheme together, creating a building that is coherent from inside to out. A considered approach to material selection is key to creating holistic architecture that flows. At Rumble Architects we see the choice of materials as a way to enhance spaces; bring warmth, interest and continuity. Simple, contemporary architecture can become rich and tactile through the clever use of a simple material palette. A close dialogue with our clients helps to inform the palette and create a harmonious character to the finished building.
No.5
A deep understanding and knowledge of detailing buildings is a key to knowing what is possible and how a design can be achieved. At Rumble Architects we have a wealth of experience taking projects from initial design through to construction and completion, which we can draw upon to inform a design at the earliest stages. In addition to a strong aptitude for detailed design we have also undertaken a number of projects for ourselves involving large amounts of hands-on experience, which underpins everything we do.
Architecture presents the opportunity to enrich the spaces we use in our everyday lives and bring joy and pleasure.
Rumble Architects is a dynamic practice working in Bristol and across the South West, focusing on domestic and residential architecture; new build houses, extensions, alterations, refurbishments and remodelling.
