Melksham architecture firm secures third major design award

An architectural practice based in Melksham has won its third major industry award after being named design service of the year at a ceremony in Bristol.

Founded in 2024 by Ben Macey, the firm specialises in bespoke design, heritage refurbishments, new builds and extensions.

Recent projects include the redevelopment of redundant buildings into mixed-use schemes, flood-resilient residential designs, and heritage-led refurbishments.

We’re excited to welcome our newest team member, Tijan Sanno‑Berry, to MADD ✅

Tijan joins us as an Architectural Technologist and holds an honours degree in BSc Architectural Technology & Design, alongside recently completing his master's in MA Architecture - Building & Heritage Conservation. He brings a strong blend of technical capability, heritage sensitivity, and research‑led insight to the team.

His academic focus on conservation, detailing, and responsible design makes him an excellent fit for the work we deliver across the South-West and beyond - from heritage extensions, alterations and refurbishments to contemporary, compliance‑driven residential schemes.

Great to have you on board, Tijan 🙌

Done something you shouldn’t have and received enforcement action? 😅

We’re pleased to share that retrospective planning permission and listed building consent have now been approved for the unauthorised works to this Grade II listed property in the heart of a conservation area.

This approval regularises a series of unauthorised sensitive heritage‑related changes, including removal of the unauthorised rear balcony and reinstatement of the correct dormer, retention of conservation‑style rooflights, retention of discreet solar panels on inner roof slopes, rear‑elevation construction variations that reduce heritage impact and retention of the attic conversion which was confirmed as reversible with no harm to historic fabric.

A positive, proportionate outcome for the clients and a great example of how thoughtful design, clear evidence, and heritage‑led justification can resolve even complex retrospective cases. Forum Heritage Services provided detailed heritage assessment throughout, and MADD are proud to have guided this process from assessment through to approval.

Of course, you should always obtain the correct approvals and consents before carrying out any works… but if you’ve made this mistake, get in touch to see how we can help you ✅

We’re delighted to confirm that full planning permission has been granted for the conversion of 27 Oakfield Road, located within the Whiteladies Road Conservation Area, transforming the former language school into a high‑quality six‑bedroom family home, with four bedrooms benefitting from their own ensuite.

The approved scheme delivers a contemporary, functional and character‑sensitive layout, including an open‑plan kitchen, living and dining space to the ground floor along with a dedicated office space, utility, cloakroom and snug/playroom. A full entertainment and relaxation basement featuring a kitchenette, entertainment/games space, w**e cellar, and sauna/spa suite. A new secure cycle shelter and dedicated bin store, designed to meet Bristol’s TDM standards and minimise visual impact within the Conservation Area.

A big thank you to RAW Planning Ltd for their expert planning consultancy and coordinated support throughout the application - a great collaborative effort.

With planning now secured, we are looking forward to progressing the project into the Building Regulations and Technical Design stages, ensuring the scheme is fully compliant, technically robust and ready for construction ✅

🏆 Following a busy first half of the year, Macey’s Architectural Design & Development Ltd is delighted to announce that we have been awarded ‘Architectural Design Service of the Year 2025-26’ at the Corporate LiveWire Global Awards 🏆

This marks our third industry accolade, and one that recognises the core of what we stand for: design excellence, technical precision, and a commitment to delivering architecture that is both beautifully considered and rigorously compliant.

From heritage-led conservation projects to contemporary residential developments, our approach has always been rooted in clarity, collaboration and a deep respect for context. To receive recognition on a global stage for our architectural design service is an incredible honour - and a testament to the dedication of our team, the trust of our clients, and the strength of the partnerships we continue to build across the industry.

Awards like this reinforce our belief that great architecture is achieved through thoughtful design, disciplined detailing, and a relentless focus on delivering value at every stage of the process. They also motivate us to keep raising standards, refining our methods, and pushing forward with purpose.

A heartfelt thank you to our clients, collaborators, and the Corporate LiveWire judging panel for this recognition. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved - and even more excited for what’s ahead.

Three awards. One vision. Continued commitment to excellence.

Onwards and upwards ✅

Progress Update: Leisure & Entertainment Suite Outbuilding Conversion 🏗️✨

A productive site visit today checking progress on the conversion of a former underutilised outbuilding at a private property in Wiltshire, soon to become the heart of a new leisure and entertainment suite.

With strip‑out underway and a section of the existing roof removed to facilitate installation of steels that will open up the space, several key items were reviewed and coordinated. This included assessing rotten floor joists and unstable brickwork, confirming fixings and installation methods for the proposed floor/wall/roof build‑ups, and checking all concrete pads ahead of steel delivery in the coming weeks.

Great to see the project moving from concept into construction with clarity, compliance and coordination at the forefront. This leisure suite - complete with bar, sauna, hot tub room and entertainment space - is shaping up to be a standout example of how thoughtful reuse and precise detailing can transform underutilised structures ✅

Solar Canopy Progress at Melksham Community Campus⚡

Another strong step forward on site today during our second visit in our role as Principal Designer. The full canopy structure is now standing proud with all steels and glulam installed, purlins nearing completion, and the PV mounting system well underway.

Safe operations were observed throughout, and momentum remains excellent with the works firmly on track.

Fantastic teamwork across the project as we bring this renewable upgrade to life for the community ✅

We’re pleased to share that Full Plans Building Control Approval has now been secured for the extension and alteration works to this Bristol property - marking another key step in delivering a more functional, spacious and future‑proof home for our clients.

This approval reflects the strength of the coordinated technical package developed for the scheme, including detailed plans, sections and elevations, robust structural and thermal integration, and clear, compliant detailing and specifications to support a smooth construction phase.

With the technical design now fully signed off, the project is ready to progress confidently towards the build - transforming the home with its open family kitchen, dedicated study, improved ground‑floor utility and WC, and upgraded principal suite with ensuite and walk‑in wardrobe.

Looking forward to seeing this one on site ✅
