Enhancing homes in the heart of South Devon

Nestled between the rugged beauty of Dartmoor and the sweeping South Devon coastline, Teignbridge is an area defined by character, craftsmanship, and community pride. Its towns and villages—from historic market centres to coastal communities—feature a rich mix of period cottages, Victorian terraces, post-war developments, and contemporary new builds.

In recent years, demand for home improvements across Teignbridge has continued to grow, driven by changing lifestyles, rising energy costs, and a desire among homeowners to invest in long-term property value. Renovations, extensions, loft conversions, and outdoor living upgrades are increasingly popular as residents look to maximise space and adapt their homes for hybrid working, multigenerational living, and improved energy efficiency. At the same time, the area’s strong conservation ethos means that many projects require a careful balance between preserving heritage features and introducing modern performance standards.

As Teignbridge continues to evolve, the home improvement sector remains central to the area’s development—supporting local employment, sustaining traditional trades, and helping homeowners create spaces that reflect both modern living standards and the timeless charm of South Devon.

In an industry often defined by scale and spectacle, Morris Architectural Design is proving that personal service and principled design still matter most. Founded in 2020 by husband-and-wife team Nathaniel and Sarah Morris, the practice has quickly established itself as a young, dynamic, and vibrant, design-led, multi-award-winning studio with a growing reputation for excellence.

At the heart of the business is Nathaniel — the sole practitioner and the face clients come to know and trust. Uniquely, he is involved in every single project and every single stage, ensuring continuity, accountability, and meticulous attention to detail throughout. From a modest single-storey extension to a multi-million-pound development, each commission is treated with equal importance. No project is too big or too small; every client benefits from the same dedication and personal service that defines this family-run practice.

Morris Architectural Design offers a complete architectural package and can step in at any stage of the journey. Services span feasibility studies, conceptual design, and detailed design development, alongside pre-application enquiries and planning applications. The practice also provides Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) assessments and metrics, listed building consent, 3D visualisations and CGIs, building regulations applications, and comprehensive construction drawings. Through project management, CDM compliance, and sourcing and shortlisting competent contractors, the team supports clients from inception to completion.

Strong working relationships with planning consultants, ecologists, contractors, and landscape professionals further ensure a seamless, coordinated process.

Sustainability sits at the core of every scheme. By responding thoughtfully to environmental considerations and embracing innovative technologies, Morris Architectural Design strives to minimise harm — and, where possible, create buildings that positively contribute to their communities.

Ambitious yet grounded in family values, this is a practice demonstrating that great architecture begins with care, collaboration, and a clear sense of purpose.
