Serving Sutton Bonington, Kingston-on-Soar & the Soar Valley
Thinking of extending, redesigning, or building a home in Sutton Bonington? At AM2 Architects, we specialise in thoughtful, sustainable residential architecture in Nottinghamshire’s most characterful villages — including Sutton Bonington, Kingston-on-Soar, and the wider Soar Valley. Whether you're unlocking the potential of a period home or designing something new in the greenbelt, we guide you with clarity and care — from first idea to final build.
Set between the River Soar and rolling countryside, Sutton Bonington offers leafy charm, strong community, and growing appeal for long-term family living. But its greenbelt designation, conservation areas, and historic fabric mean any architectural intervention needs strategic handling. At AM2 Architects, we offer:
Planning Knowledge with Local Context: We work regularly with Rushcliffe Borough Council and understand the planning pressures specific to Sutton Bonington and surrounding parishes — including greenbelt limits, infill policies, and heritage sensitivities.
Character-Aware Design: Whether it’s a stone-built cottage, a 20th-century infill, or a listed farmhouse, we design with proportion, materials, and visual balance in mind — adding space and light without overstatement.
Design That Lives Well: We focus on flow, flexibility, and long-term comfort — prioritising how the space works day to day, season to season.
From kitchen-diner additions to two-storey expansions, we create extensions that enhance your home’s beauty and usability — often blending traditional detailing with contemporary interiors for a best-of-both approach.
Much of Sutton Bonington lies within the greenbelt. We help navigate local policy by designing within limits, justifying proposals clearly, and exploring layout-led gains before relying on volume increases.
Many village homes have good bones but outdated layouts. We redesign internal spaces for better family flow, visual connection, and zoning — all without changing the footprint.
With occasional self-build plots or replacement dwellings, we design new homes that respect scale, topography, and local vernacular — whether you're on Main Street or the rural fringe.
Sutton Bonington includes listed buildings and conservation zones. We specialise in subtle, respectful interventions that meet heritage officer expectations while modernising where it matters most.
We don’t just get plans drawn — we help homeowners make smart, confident decisions about their homes. Our clients across Sutton Bonington and Kingston-on-Soar value our calm process, planning expertise, and design-first mindset — especially when working in constrained or sensitive village settings.
We begin with a conversation — reviewing your ideas, site, and constraints. We’ll advise early on feasibility, planning risk, and design potential.
We translate your brief into clear, purposeful sketches — often with multiple layout and massing options to suit different planning paths.
We handle all drawings, supporting statements, and liaison with Rushcliffe Borough Council, including heritage or greenbelt documentation where needed.
Our technical drawing packs help you get accurate quotes, comply with building regulations, and give your builder a clear roadmap for quality execution.
We can oversee construction through light-touch monitoring or full project management — helping keep the project aligned, efficient, and stress-free.
Our project highlights showcase a diverse range of architectural designs, reflecting our expertise in delivering innovative, functional, and sustainable solutions. From modern new builds to thoughtful heritage restorations, each project demonstrates our commitment to client satisfaction and attention to detail.
