About
Nathan Barr formed Barr Architects in London in 1999.
Nathan had previously completed his architectural education while working at Richard Rogers and Partners and Michael Hopkins & Partners. Nathan then worked for Foster & Partners on a large variety of prestigious projects before forming his own practice, Barr Architects, in London.
The London based practice focused on working with private clients on domestic refurbishments and landscaping designs in Central London .
The practice has gained twenty three years of experience since forming and has led and collaborated on multiple projects with exceptional teams of engineers and contractors to meet the challenges of our Clients brief successfully .
Today the practice is involved with new new build and refurbishment projects in Cambridge and London with a strong design ethos of high quality, environmental and sustainable design, and we also carry the design right through to the external landscape design.

Client Reviews
Barr Architects designed and supervised the construction of a house for my mother, who wanted to downsize to a smaller home. With Nathan's advice, she decided to build this in the garden of her existing home, enabling her to stay in the area of Cambridge where she already lived. Throughout the entire process from initial thoughts and designs, through planning, choosing a builder and then the actual build and finish itself, Barr Architects were amazingly helpful and supportive. Nathan visited the site almost every day and was always available for consultations, extra ideas and generally going above and beyond what would be expected for the role. He explained things very clearly and any necessary variations or alterations were communicated well. His design ideas were excellent, my mother's wishes were completely taken on board and she is absolutely delighted with her new home. Would highly recommend!

“We used Barr Architects to design our house in Coton, just outside Cambridge. The project which involved renovating an existing detached Victorian house and adding a large three bedroom contemporary extension was extremely challenging as the property is set within a conservation area in the centre of a small village. Nathan Barr led the project from the initial brief through the complicated planning process and onto completion. We are absolutely delighted with our house and would have no reservations in recommending Nathan and his team.”
