THE TEAM
Jonathon Bensley-Byham
PROJECT DIRECTOR
Jonathon established Architecture ONE in 2015 after working in professional practices in London, Sydney, Dubai, and Doha.
The concept behind Architecture ONE was to provide people with a professional service that could encompass all aspects of architecture and planning.
Under the direction of Jonathon and Tenille, the company quickly gained recognition in 2015 as an architectural practice capable of designing, obtaining planning permission, and overseeing construction on site with a focus on customer satisfaction.
When not in the office, Jonathon enjoys pringles, DIY and has a passion for classic cars.
Tenille Bensley-Byham
PRACTICE MANAGER
Tenille is a partner at Architecture ONE and played a key role in setting up the Architecture Studio in 2015. She leverages her extensive business experience and meticulous attention to detail in both the architecture and business sectors.
In her free time, Tenille enjoys escaping into a good book, trying new nutritious recipes her children wont eat, and travelling (though not in classic cars).
Lauren Broomfield-Mann
ARCHITECTURAL ADMINISTRATOR
Lauren joined Architecture ONE in March 2021 while completing her A levels. Now fulltime, she is efficient and capable at interpreting the administrative needs out of the abundant creative data and organising it into functioning administrative order. Lauren also assists in supporting our project staff with surveys and drafting alongside her administration duties.
In her free time, Lauren enjoys listening to Yonaka and seeing them live in concert with her other half (he's really lovely, just like Lauren).
Alison Meadows
ARCHITECTURAL TECHNICIAN
Alison joined Architecture ONE in November 2023, after completing her HND in Architectural Technology as a student at City of Glasgow College. She is looking to resume her studies in September 2024. We are delighted to have her on board, assisting with our design documentation.
Christopher Lansbury
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER
Christopher joined Architecture ONE in early 2018 and brought with him an exceptional and sustained record of achievement in developing relationships within multiple companies. He is firmly focused on developing Architecture ONE and its various avenues of business opportunities.
In addition to Architecture ONE, Christopher is involved in a vintage and classic car business, a passion he loves to chat with Jonathon about. We try to keep them separated.
OUR APPROACH
The Architecture ONE approach to design is always based on the client’s requirements, and we strive to provide the best possible solution to the brief. We always emphasise communication and involve the client at every step of the process to ensure all avenues are explored and key issues are addressed. We always ensure that those involved in a project are kept abreast of the developments. Each job is assigned a single point of contact, or Project Lead.
The assigned project lead will support you throughout the duration of the project, starting with the initial sketches to the completion of the scheme. This arrangement guarantees a consistent level of service and a deep understanding of the development process. Additionally, all projects are closely monitored and supervised by the practice manager, who is responsible for regularly reviewing project progress to ensure alignment with the client's requirements. This oversight occurs at every stage of the project, from conception to finalisation, and includes ongoing meetings with clients as needed. With the backing of a skilled team, Architecture ONE is well-equipped to provide high-quality service in any setting.
OUR EXPERIENCE
Architecture ONE has the capability to deliver architectural projects from start to finish across various sectors. While we are not limited to this, our expertise lies in planning and building control for residential buildings, which includes loft conversions and garage adaptations. We manage all aspects of the process, from hiring engineers to working with reputable building contractors whom we have established strong partnerships with. This allows our design team to efficiently determine the main requirements of a brief and provide a customised solution that surpasses our clients' expectations.
