Classical and contemporary architecture at its best.
Johnston Cave Associates specialise in the repair, alteration and adaptation of historic buildings to provide discreet, sophisticated homes — meeting all the needs of contemporary family life without sacrificing any of their charm, character or qualities.
As architects, we strive to provide high quality service and excellence of design. We specialise in private house work and work to historic buildings. For most of our projects, these two aspects are combined. Through our commissions from individual private clients, we have gained considerable experience with the careful, sensitive design and construction of substantial buildings in established settings, more than often combined with the alteration of listed buildings and landscapes.
Working with, and in the context of, historic buildings, we have developed expertise in the integration of new designs and modern services into existing historic fabric.
Skills
This includes repair, restoration and conservation work. We are very comfortable working with private clients as part of a design team with other consultants, and we are used to working with skilled, respected and specialist contractors to produce high quality work. As a Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Chartered Practice, a professional, considerate and discreet service is assured. As well as our core domestic, projects, we also have a long track record in Corporate, Academic, Collegiate, Religious, Governmental and other building for a wide variety of Clients. High Quality, imaginative structures JCA have deservedly gained a reputation as architects for the design and construction of very high quality buildings for a number of discerning clients. We work with our clients to produce imaginative yet practical buildings with enduring qualities of appearance and texture.

Tom Parker Bowles's favourite recipe: French onion soup
This dish is no mere Gallic broth, rather pure bonhomie in a bowl — a boozy, beefy, allium-scented masterpiece that cries out for the chill depths of winter
