The name abode came from a simple philosophy, to make every project from the smallest house extension to the largest new build development, feel like home in form, design and function. A feeling that comes from understanding our clients' needs by inquisitive listening and explorative collaboration.
Over 15 years ago Andrew and Rosemary Tomkins opened their RIBA chartered architect practice in Farnham, Surrey. Our award-winning office space, a former blacksmith's forge in the centre of the town, showcases our ability to refurbish historic buildings as well as create contemporary new spaces. The practice was established based on innovative, bespoke designs that delight our clients.
We have a creative and inclusive approach to architectural design and we also enjoy the disciplined process of implementing the designs on site. Our professional expertise allows us to support our clients and oversee a build project from a conception, through the construction phase to completion. We genuinely care about our clients and wish for them to enjoy the experience of building.

Taking inspiration from the scale and intricacy of the 17th-century timber framed buildings in the town centre in Crown Court and Church Street, this new church is two storeys with a steep pitched clay roof and a jettied first floor. A timber jetty oversails the ground floor to provide a sheltered canopy at street level and more space to the auditorium upstairs.
