Equestrian Architects based in Yorkshire

At Horsley & Townsend we work with private and commercial clients to provide a complete service for the design and planning of bespoke equestrian facilities. Our equestrian architecture services cover everything from the design of bases for horse walkers, through to stables, horse riding arenas and equestrian buildings.

We work closely with our clients throughout the design process to ensure the completed project not only meets, but also exceeds their expectations. Our specialist architectural services are available throughout Yorkshire and offer a range of imaginative design solutions to meet the requirements of individual clients and equestrian businesses alike.

Experienced equestrian architects

Thanks to our expertise in equestrian architecture, we use a tried and tested approach which begins with an in-depth consultation to discuss your requirements and aspirations for your project. From these initial discussions, we’ll prepare the basic drawings required for pre-applications, through to full applications for full planning applications. We have experience of designing buildings in challenging areas including Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Conservation Areas and National Parks. We also have expertise in providing architectural services for Listed Buildings.

Equestrian design and construction projects often call for detailed feasibility studies and as such we are able to arrange for any surveys which may be required including tree surveys, land and visual impact assessments and landscaping schemes.

We provide full project management services and once full construction drawings have been provided, we will submit tenders for experienced, reputable building contractors. Finally, once your project is underway, we will continue to provide our support through regular on-site visits and inspections.
