A very special one…

We’re proud to be appointed to undertake the sensitive conversion and restoration of the Grade II Listed Boscastle Methodist Church.

An incredible building with so much history, and one that will be carefully shaped using our BAVRE™ process to inform key views, light, and spatial experience.

We look forward to sharing the next chapter of this building as the design evolves ⛪️✍️

Willow House 🌿

Named after the willow tree planted here by the family 25 years ago.

This new build dwelling was carefully designed using our BAVRE™ process to protect neighbouring privacy while still capturing light, views and connection to the garden.

The highlight? A cantilevered glazed corner off the family day room, opening the house up to the landscape and proving that even with a modest build budget, great architecture can still make a statement.

Full planning permission achieved. A home with roots… and a future.

A replacement residence in Widemouth Bay, designed around a single non-negotiable:

Protect the view.

Where neighbouring schemes are approved, the risk to outlook, privacy and ultimately value is real. Sophisticated land buyers and developers understand that optimism is not a strategy, they verify.

Using BAVRE™️, we reconstructed the consented development digitally and tested authenticated sightlines from the principal rooms and terraces. Only then were the levels, massing and orientation finalised.

No assumptions.
No surprises.
No compromise to the asset.

This is why experienced clients ask us to build virtually before we build for real.

If you are considering the purchase or development of a prime plot and want clarity at the same level, we would be pleased to advise.

As 2025 draws to a close, we just want to say a huge thank you.

To our clients, thank you for trusting us with your homes, ideas, and ambitions. To the builders, engineers, and consultants we’ve worked alongside, thank you for your collaboration, craftsmanship, and problem-solving on site.

From sensitive rural conversions to new homes and thoughtful extensions, this year has been all about good design, strong relationships, and projects rooted in place. We’re incredibly proud of what’s been achieved together.

We’re now looking ahead to 2026 with some exciting projects on the horizon, and we can’t wait to share what’s next.

Wishing everyone a restful end to the year and a brilliant start to the next one.

- Jack & the Bowden Architecture team

p.s. how awesome is this new 7 car subterranean garage! There will hopefully be some great site pictures in the new year!

A first look at the internal renders for our Quoditch project.

With planning permission approved, we’re transforming this beautiful old barn into a warm and welcoming family day room, all while carefully retaining the character that makes the building so special. This kitchen by is just what this space needs 🙌🏻

A big thank you to the team at for their advice on the traditional material build ups to the cob and stone walls.

We will be sharing more updates as the build progresses through our stories 📖

✨ What a start to the week! ✨

A short break in the weather gave us the perfect window to get the drone up and capture this incredible private residence in all its glory 🏡☀️

We’re beyond excited to be entrusted with shaping the next chapter of this breathtaking historic grade II listed home, and let’s just say… you definitely won’t be expecting what we’ve got planned 👀✨

Another barn brought back to life! 🐄✨

We’re excited to share our latest small barn conversion near Hatherleigh. A simple rural building reimagined as a cosy, contemporary home through the use of a sympathetic extension while keeping all of its original character.

There’s something really special about transforming these spaces. The mix of rustic charm, natural materials, and modern comfort always hits the right note. 🌾🏡

✨ Planning Approval Secured ✨
We’re pleased to share that planning has been approved for a beautiful extension in Crackington Haven 🏡🌊

🌿✨ Something a bit special...

Here’s a look at our latest design - a split-level farmhouse tucked away in the heart of North Devon.

We’ve put together a video that shows how this home sits beautifully in the landscape as the seasons change. From fresh spring greens to golden autumn tones. 🍃🍂 It’s all about creating something that feels grounded, timeless, and in sync with its surroundings.

Designed to follow the slope of the land, this one’s got all the cosy farmhouse character with a modern twist brought together with an incredible glazed link and open atrium stairwell.
