Refined Design

Beauty

We believe in creating designs that enhance the landscape and create places in which to thrive. Our work tells stories about place, grounded in their locality and materials, balancing rawness and refinement, complexity and simplicity. Our buildings are places that people enjoy being in; not just because of the spaces created, views that are framed or the closeness to the earth but in the warmth, airiness and wellbeing of a healthy building. We want our buildings growing from the soil, enhancing the planet with their beauty; contributing to, rather than consuming the environment.

Individuality

Featured, beautiful buildings

Hawkes Architecture’s most beautiful buildings are shaped by landscape, light, and material. From woodland retreats to hillside homes, each design feels rooted and timeless. Beauty emerges through simplicity, sustainability, and connection to nature. Spaces feel calm, warm, and alive. These are places to live well, in harmony with the earth.

Where beauty, sustainability, and innovation converge.

Aesthetic Design

At Hawkes Architecture, beauty is woven into every layer of the design—from the ground up. Our unique floorplans and bold forms emerge from a deep understanding of place, with each detail considered thoughtfully and intentionally. The result is architecture that’s both innovative and grounded, beautiful in its essence and its execution.

Landscape and Views

Beautiful Roots

Hawkes homes are rooted in some of the most beautiful and sensitive landscapes in the country—protected countryside, Green Belt, and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.


These settings aren’t just a backdrop; they shape every aspect of the design. We begin with the land—its contours, ecology, and character, and let it guide the architecture. But beauty isn’t reserved for rural settings alone. Whether nestled in wild meadows or urban streetscapes, every Hawkes design is shaped with care, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to beauty at every scale.

A thread of Beauty Throughout The Process

From the first concept sketch to the final choice of materials, we approach each detail with care and clarity. Our material palettes are honest and refined, selected not just for how they look, but for how they age, feel, and belong to their setting. Craftsmanship matters. Every junction, surface, and transition is considered—because true beauty lies in the integrity of the whole.

Beyond the Countryside

While many Hawkes projects sit within protected rural landscapes, our commitment to beauty extends far beyond the countryside. Projects like Tram House and St Faith’s Community Centre show how bold, elegant design can transform urban and suburban settings too.


Just down the road from our seaside West Wittering project, Tram House transforms a former tram into an eclectic family home. A striking example of Hawkes’ design approach beyond the countryside. To discover more, click the link below!
