Adam Knibb Architects

Based in Winchester, Adam Knibb Architects designs residential extensions and detached homes characterized by lightweight timber volumes cantilevered over transparent lower levels, seamless indoor-outdoor floor transitions, and sharp structural interventions against historic masonry. The work offers a clear reference when detailing flush deck-to-interior thresholds, dissolving mass through fully glazed corners, or integrating modern timber additions around existing brick party walls and chimney stacks.
