From Reykjavík to Jersey, we design and build the best bespoke homes worldwide
For over a decade, Neil Bricknell and Guy Fowler have been an effective partnership and well-known innovators in building family homes
Neil introduced off-site technology into the UK from his early days building in Norway in the 1980’s, winning the Daily Telegraph House of the Year Award. Possessing a calm approach, Neil enjoys solving, without drama, the inevitable challenges associated with complex, high value builds.
Guy’s background is more design and engineering, learning from and working with an eclectic mix of clients and associates like Saatchi & Saatchi, Eva Jiřičná and Elizabeth Emanuel.
RIBA Awards Shortlisted build for an architect's home
The last 12 years have seen a series of exceptional, award winning new builds for self builders, architects’ own homes, and clients from Iceland and Finland to the Channel Islands.
Bricknell & Fowler’s metier is balanced, flexible and structured around the idiosyncrasy's of client needs and wants – the results are cliff top builds in Jersey (on Channel 4's Flat Pack Mansions), ‘Homes by the Sea’ (won the JeCC Sustainability Award); and a home erected in 2 days (on the BBC's DIY SOS: The Big Build).
A fulfilling journey with Bricknell & Fowler:
from brilliant design to the keys of your new home
In 2020, Neil and Guy branded the service side of their businesses as Bricknell & Fowler, based in Jersey, but also operating further afield.
Bricknell & Fowler new builds are based on the architectural vision developed alongside the client and are closely coupled with the modern methods of off-site construction developed at their facilities in Devon. Blending high tech with craftsmanship & sustainable materials, Bricknell & Fowler’s construction systems reduce the time spent on-site. Building significant parts of a house in a controlled environment has huge quality, performance, time and cost benefits, resulting in fixed prices & timelines for a healthier home with unlimited design constraints, primarily in timber, glass and concrete.
With Bricknell & Fowler, the relationship with the client is paramount and privacy always respected. Contracts in plain language compliment the Bricknell & Fowler axiom that trust, based in integrity and shared vision, is the path to a successful project.
Bricknell & Fowler makes space for the client to enjoy the process of building the home of their dreams. Above all, Bricknell & Fowler aims to understand a client’s spirit, making the delivery of a project cost-efficient and uncomplicated: a new home of living luxury, elegance, & wellbeing.
