We had a knock-out 5⭐️ review from our Clients at 3 Cold Knap Way, Barry, yesterday:

'We’ve had a brilliant experience working with Dennis and the team at Dennis Hellyar Architects. The visuals they created were incredibly impressive and really brought our ideas to life. Dennis has been supportive, approachable and generous with his advice throughout the process, and it’s clear he genuinely cares about achieving the best outcome for his clients.

A special mention as well to Jesus and Callum — both were fantastic to deal with, professional, friendly and clearly very talented. Their input made the whole experience even smoother.

We’re very grateful for all the work so far and would happily recommend the whole team to anyone looking for a reliable, creative and client‑focused architectural practice.' 😍

We just received a 5⭐️ Review on Google:

We are delighted to be able to leave a 5 star review with regard to the design work Dennis Hellyar and his team recently completed for us. Dennis with his knowledge and expertise was able to creatively provide us with a variety of options to re-configure and maximise space within our planned extension. We could never have imagined the possibilities without his input. In particular he listened intently and was sensitive to our preliminary and emerging ideas. His advice was clear and always with our interests in mind.
We thoroughly recommend him without reservation.

Thinking about extending your home or converting your loft?

Before you call a builder, it's worth speaking to an architect — and here's why.

The most expensive mistakes on home improvement projects almost always happen early. A poorly positioned extension, a loft conversion with insufficient headroom, or a planning application submitted without proper drawings — these are problems that cost far more to fix than they would have cost to avoid.

At Dennis Hellyar Architects, we work with homeowners across South Wales at every stage — from an initial chat about ideas right through to inspecting the finished work on site. We're not here to make things complicated. We're here to help you get the result you're hoping for, without the headaches.

We've written a new guide for homeowners and landlords that walks through what to expect from working with an architect, what questions to ask, and what the process looks like from start to finish.

Have a read and let us know if you have any questions

Thinking of extending your home, converting your loft, or improving a rental property? Discover why working with an experienced architect saves time, money and stress — and adds lasting value to your property.

This marks the full completion of the Lansdowne Hospital regeneration in Cardiff — 106 affordable, EPC A-rated homes on a transformed brownfield site. A project 7 years in the making. We are delighted to have provided Architectural Services both pre-contract for and post-contract for # Lovells

A former hospital site in Cardiff has been redeveloped into a residential scheme of more than 100 new homes, with the urban renewal project handed over.

Commercial property development is fundamentally about return on investment. Yet I regularly see developers leaving substantial value on the table by attempting projects without proper architectural input.

In my latest article, I break down exactly how architectural design enhances commercial development returns:

Space optimisation that adds 8-20% more lettable area within the same building envelope
Energy efficiency delivering £8-12k annual operating cost savings
Site planning that extracts 20-30% more development potential from your land
First-time planning approvals saving 3+ months in costly delays
Design efficiency reducing construction costs by 8-12%

Example: On a 2,000 sqm warehouse, an 8% increase in lettable area generates £16,000 additional annual rental income (approximately £230,000 capital value at typical yields). Energy efficiency measures saving £8,500 annually add £120,000 to capital value. The combined improvements substantially exceed typical architectural fees while creating a more attractive, efficient facility.

For developers, property investors, and businesses planning commercial projects across South Wales and beyond - the numbers speak for themselves.
