Peter Kent - Architect
Featherbrook House:
Featherbrook House, completed in 2010 is the home of Peter and Clare, and the office for Peter Kent Architect. There are 4 buildings on the site, which replaced an unsightly jumble of asbestos barns formerly used as a Turkey Farm.
The house and office wing are joined by an unheated link, allowing flexible independent use. The two outbuildings provide workshop space, as well as car and general storage, and are used to mount photo-voltaic panels. More detail on the renewable energy and other eco-features may be found on the sustainability page in this site. Than inverted, whole life design, with bedrooms on both floors and a galleried upper floor living area making the most of the 5.5m internal heights to ridge upstairs.

Retail and apartments - Market Place, Devizes:
On one of the most sensitive sites in the market town of Devizes, this mixed use redevelopment blends an historically proportioned building design harking back to the early 1800s with a contemporary treatment of much of a side street leading towards the Kennet and Avon Canal Wharf.
If you click on the video link below, you can see what we replaced on the Market Place frontage – a rather ill-used art deco Cooperative store building which was not well loved by the town!
The development carried out for Gaiger Brothers ltd, a local developer, comprises 7000 sq ft of retail and restaurant space with 24 apartments ranging from studios up to a 1400 sq ft duplex apartment overlooking the market place with roof garden.

Industrial - Catleys, Devizes:
Catleys moved from their town centre site in Devizes to this above average industrial building purpose designed to form their Head Office and showroom for the sale of bottled gas and appliances in 2006.
The building is constructed in a steel frame with brickwork walls and insulated cladding to the roof, but has external features expressed in natural timber. The Company’s former premises were redeveloped as a series of small houses, also designed by the Practice.

St James Church, Devizes:
The West end of St James Southbroom Devizes was completely re-ordered in 2007, with the removal of both a 1940’s gallery and a failing pipe organ allowing the construction of a new, larger, glass fronted gallery, the opening up of a prayer room in the fine perpendicular tower and the provision of accessible WCs, a small kitchen and an adaptable meeting room.
Folding/sliding oak framed screens allow a number of room configurations as well as overflow space for Nave seating at popular services.

New house - Roundway, Devizes:
A contemporary house design built in rural traditional materials in the countryside outside Devizes. The house incorporates a very flexible internal layout to allow for future family needs for its private owners.
Consent was granted as a replacement dwelling but the applicant was permitted to keep part of the pre-existing log cabin style building as a work from home office, and this was linked to the new building after completion. The design includes passive solar heating, air to water heat pump supplied floor heating and solar thermal water heating.

New farmhouse, Wroughton:
This new farmhouse and outbuilding near Swindon replaced an existing bungalow with a much larger house. The Planning Authority were able to accept the discrepancy in size due to the quality of design and inclusion of renewable energy features such as air-to water heat pump and solar thermal water heating.

Peugeot showroom, Devizes:
Fussel Wadman Peugeot showroom, offices, workshops and Tyre/exhaust centre opened in 2003 on a prominent corner site on the London Road out of Devizes, Wiltshire. Conventional steel frame and insulated cladding used in a fan formation takes the building around the corner of a major roundabout in the town, and forms an exciting, galleried showroom area.
