Studio Tamacoco Architects

Studio Tamacoco Architects

Approach

Studio Tamacoco is an RIBA Chartered Practice based in the City of York. 

 

Alongside a full range of architectural services, we offer conservation and heritage consultancy for the repair and restoration of historic buildings and sites.

 

We enjoy the challenge of finding imaginative design solutions for all our projects from small-scale domestic extensions through to complex heritage assets within the public domain.

 

We have a special interest in the repair and creative adaptation of historic buildings and are experienced in delivering projects that require Listed Building Consent and/ or are situated within sensitive conservation areas.

 

As a practice our design approach always starts with an in-depth analysis of the brief to fully understand and develop the client's requirements with quality and affordability as fundamental priorities.  

 

We strive to offer a tailored design solution that provides a sustainable response to the character of the site using the best of both traditional and modern building materials and techniques.

Profile

The practice was founded in 2013 by Jamie Holden, an RIBA registered Architect with specialist Conservation Accreditation under the AABC (Architects Accredited in Building Conservation) scheme. 

 

He has worked in York since 2001 and is a member of EASA (The Ecclesiastical Architects & Surveyors Association), The Green Register which promotes sustainable construction and the C20th society.

 

He regularly takes part in research and training events organised by EASA, the University of York, the RIBA and York Architectural Association.  Jamie is an Approved Inspector for churches within the Diocese of York, Leeds, Durham and Sheffield.

​

Good design and successful buildings are always the result of a team effort with contributions from many different sources, therefore, the practice encourages close collaboration with other design professionals, contractors and clients.
