who are we
Founded by Matt Noades in 2016, Noades Architects brings 20 years experience of residential architecture to clients in Chalfont St Peter and the area. Based in Chorleywood, the team understand the features that make the Chalfonts special, and have undertaken numerous projects across Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire.
Passivehaus Certified
What is Passivehaus?
This sought-after standard relates to the design and construction of homes that are exceptionally energy-efficient. This results in a home that is both comfortable and requires minimal energy to run. Sometimes referred to as Passive House, the standards required are tightly controlled by the Passivhaus-Institut in Germany. Studies show that houses built to this standard require only a fraction of the energy to heat that typical houses in the UK require, and considerably less than a typical new-build house.
planning applications
The team at Noades have a wealth of knowledge and experience working with Buckinghamshire Council for planning permissions in this area. Understanding the historical heritage of this village near to the beautiful AONB Chilterns, they are also able to advise what can be achieved under permitted development or with no planning consent at all.

Their guidance and expertise were pivotal in keeping everything on track. Particularly their flexibility and willingness to adapt to changes have made a significant difference. I hope we can continue this level of collaboration in future projects.Martin Horsted11 June 2024Matt designed an extension to our detached house in late 2018/early 2019. It comprised of a single story en-suite bedroom and adjacent garage. We were very pleased with the whole design process and re finished product. Matt was very approachable and took the time to ensure that everything was exactly as we had agreed. He then made regular visits throughout the build to ensure that our building contractor adhered to all aspects of the design. We would have no hesitation in recommending Matt to others who want a friendly professional local architect.
