Designing Beautiful, Intelligent Homes for Brighton Families
In Brighton, design is expected to be refined. But we believe true quality goes deeper—into the way a home feels to live in, supports your wellbeing, and adapts to your life for decades to come.
At Borland Architecture, we help families create homes that do more than look beautiful—they feel effortless to live in. Every detail is designed to enhance comfort, reduce maintenance, improve health, and add value long into the future. Whether you're revitalising a heritage home or designing a modern sanctuary, our work brings together elegance, performance, and long-term vision in a way few homes achieve.
As architects working in Brighton and beyond, we bring deep knowledge of the area’s lifestyle, heritage, and environment—balancing aesthetic excellence with sustainable design principles. That includes high-performance insulation, clean filtered air, intelligent zoning, and materials that protect your health and the planet.
Led by our director Roger Borland, every project is handled with care, integrity, and insight. Roger’s roots in rural Ireland bring a quiet reverence for craftsmanship and materials, while his innovation-focused practice ensures your home reflects the very best of contemporary design thinking. With Roger personally involved at every step, you can feel confident knowing that nothing is left to chance—and that your home will be as enduring as it is beautiful.
Homes That Help Brighton Families Thrive—Now and Into the Future
As architects working closely with families across Brighton, we understand that your home isn’t just where you live—it’s where your life unfolds.
That’s why our designs go beyond just floorplans or finishes. We integrate architecture, interiors, landscape, and building science into one cohesive vision—so that your home feels intuitive, calm, and built for everything life brings next.
Our homes prioritise what truly matters:
Comfort that lasts all year, with high-performance insulation and passive solar design that keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer—without relying on costly systems.
Clean, fresh air, filtered quietly through mechanical heat recovery ventilation, reducing allergens and improving sleep.
Space that adapts, with layouts designed to shift with your lifestyle, offering flexibility without compromise.
Long-term peace of mind, through an as-built approach that guarantees your home performs exactly as promised.
We don’t just build houses—we help families create homes they can grow into, feel proud of, and pass down for generations. That’s what true legacy looks like.
