Johnstone Godfrey & Associates is an architecture and planning consultancy established in 1990 and based in Knutsford, Cheshire, serving clients across the north west of England and beyond. The practice delivers a complete architectural service that spans creative project inception, development of concepts, and rigorous progression through planning and building control approvals, followed by contractor selection and careful monitoring of the construction phase on site. With specialist experience in working on listed buildings and within conservation areas, the firm has built a portfolio that includes office and retail schemes, industrial and public buildings, restaurants, and private residential projects. Notable commercial and hospitality work includes high profile restaurant environments such as Est Est Est in Edinburgh, Manchester, and Alderley Edge, where the team balanced complex services, theatrical circulation, and sensitive heritage contexts. In Northwich, projects at Gadbrook Park demonstrate efficient single storey office design with flexible interiors, while town centre retail developments address challenging geometries and conservation considerations. The practice has also undertaken significant refurbishment and stabilization of historic structures, as illustrated by the restoration of Parkers Farm Barn for Birchwood Town Council, where structural issues were addressed with discreet reinforcement to extend the useful life of a listed building. Residential commissions range from replacement dwellings and barn conversions to substantial alterations and garden structures for private clients, including work on Arts and Crafts homes within conservation settings. Led by principal Johnstone Godfrey, whose education includes Shrewsbury School, Cambridge, and The Architectural Association, the firm combines design sensitivity with practical delivery, selecting appropriate building technologies whether through CAD or traditional drafting to meet design and cost targets. From first conversations and brief analysis through sketch evolution, detailed technical drawings, specifications, and on site contract administration, Johnstone Godfrey & Associates provides a clear, staged process that clients can adopt in full or in part to suit project needs. The office is located at 2 Swinton Square, Knutsford, Cheshire WA16 6HH.
