Paul Cashin Architects 'PCA' is a creative architectural practice based in Winchester, Hampshire. PCA takes a design-led approach to the practice of contemporary architecture, believing that well thought and considered design is essential to the creation of successful architectural space.

The practice undertakes contemporary architectural design projects across residential, commercial and civic sectors of the construction industry. Currently having a number of live projects across Winchester, Hampshire and the South Coast including one-off new build houses, extensions and commercial business projects.

As a small practice, our strength lies in our inclusive and personal approach, working directly with clients, consultants, and contractors, encouraging the cross over between architecture and other areas of art and design.

We are in a consistent state of process, working through a range of media including physical and computer models, hand and computer drawings, sketching and conceptual diagrams, discussions and presentations.

Suetts Farm completed onsite

It is such a proud moment when a project completes onsite, when our clients can move in and start to enjoy the space as we had imagined for them. This is especially the case on particularly challenging projects, when we have had to work so carefully to achieve planning and meet the clients brief.

At Suetts Farm we added a contemporary extension to a Grade II Listed farmhouse, designed as an independent structure that touches the historic building lightly. Working with listed buildings always adds to the complexity of the project, to achieve a design that is fitting with the historic context and will achieve planning approval. Working with old buildings also add an extra layer to the construction site, as there are always unforeseen challenges that get throw up along the way. Happily this project was completed without too many issues, and the home was completed on time.
