Folia Architects are award winning sustainable architects and certified passivhaus and AECB designers based in a woodland studio in Devon.

We’re hands-on environmental architects. We love helping people create sustainable, comfortable, and future-ready architecture.

At Folia Architects, we collaborate closely with our clients to gain a deep understanding of their priorities, uncovering the nuances of each brief and the underlying human needs at the core of every project. Our approach is purposefully optimistic, creating solutions that reflect our clients’ aspirations and ambitions.

We’ve been delivering certified passivhaus projects for the past 15 years. Prior to Folia Architects, we co-founded Arbor Architects in 2019, a successful sustainable practice in Hereford, previous to this we worked at Architype. Together, we have designed and delivered a number of RIBA award-winning projects, notably Cwm Barn and Tin Barn Enerphit Barn conversion at Arbor Architects, and Bicester Eco Centre, the UK’s first Passivhaus Plus office, whilst working at Architype.

Whether delivering a new family home, a barn conversion or developing a community project, our approach is always bespoke and deeply contextual. In an era where making the greatest impact with limited resources is more crucial than ever, we focus on creating solutions that are both simple and transformative—regardless of budget.
