Simon Devlin

Simon Devlin is a RIBA chartered professional architect with almost 20 years of experience in the construction industry. He has worked in Liverpool, Birmingham and more recently in St Neots, where he has set up his own RIBA chartered practice.

Throughout his career he has worked on a wide spectrum of projects, from the design and creation of an electricity substation and an inner-city synagogue, to high-end London domestic extensions and large residential developments. Geographically, his current projects are in the home counties and East Anglia and include large barn conversions, listed building consents, domestic extensions and two new school buildings.

Simon has a meticulous attention to detail and his designs combine innovative and imaginative creativity with common sense, practicable solutions. Although he brings his own wealth of knowledge and experience to the project, Simon also works closely with his clients to ensure their ideas, requirements and desires are reflected in the final build.
