The Architect in the House scheme was originally created by the RIBA, which involved connecting members of the public seeking architectural consultations to RIBA chartered architects, ideally within five miles of their home or office. We participated in the scheme for fifteen years and each year we undertook a considerable number of visits.

Between 1999 and 2013 we visited over 500 homes between Guisborough & Berwick. In doing so we raised over £20,700. Following such consultations between 1999 and 2013 we undertook a considerable number of the projects, ranging in value from £7,000 to £900,000. Indeed, many of the projects depicted on this website began with a visit under the Scheme.

Sadly in 2014, the RIBA decided to discontinue the Scheme. However, JPA have continued to run the Architect in the House scheme since 2014. We are always happy to meet prospective Clients for a preliminary meeting, without obligation.

We invited The Save the Children Fund to be the beneficiary of the donations in 2014. We are now also supporting the Tynedale Hospice at Home Charity, which provides end-of-life care and support to patients in the local Northumberland area. Since 1st July 2014 we have undertaken 89 visits under the scheme, raising a total of £5,965.
