Horsley & Townsend: Equestrian architects in Hampshire

At Horsley & Townsend we provide architectural design services designed to meet the unique requirements of those who own and care for horses. Whether you run an equine business or are a private client, we’ll use our expertise in equine building design to ensure your aspirations are turned into reality.

Equine design services

Our architectural services cover a wide range of equestrian facilities including stable blocks, American barns, horse walker facilities, stable yards and more. We’ll use our expertise to help you maximise the space you have, providing you with beautifully designed facilities which meet the practicalities of caring for horses.

 

We work closely with our clients and our design process begins with an in-depth meeting which we will use to find out as much as we can about your ideas, requirements and aspirations. Every project is unique and as such we’ll ensure your aims remain at the front and centre of everything we do.

 

The majority of equestrian facilities require planning permission. We have wide-ranging experience in working on projects in diverse areas, including National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. In addition, we have also successful completed projects which have involved the extension of Grade I and Grade II Listed Buildings.

 

We understand the complexities of equestrian design and will play close consideration both to the practicalities of caring for horses and the surrounding landscape. Furthermore, our designs aim to achieve a balance between the design of existing buildings on your property, whilst also meeting your equestrian requirements.
