It was originally set up to enable Philip to work as a Senior Architectural Technician as a contractor for Dewjo'c Architects in Stockton-on-Tees. As a Senior Associate at Devereux Architects he was the "Accessible Design Champion" advising colleagues on the DDA and corresponding compliance with the relevant regulations.
There is nothing new about designing buildings to make best use of local or recycled materials or to require very little energy to make them habitable. We only need to look back a few centuries in the UK or at the present Third World to see sustainable buildings which had very little impact on the environment, either locally or globally, and which still met the needs of the occupants.
For over twenty years now Philip Newbold has been designing and converting buildings for people with disabilities and incorporating accessible design principles into all his buildings.
The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) 1995 was replaced by The Equality Act in 2010 and while awareness of the issues surrounding the accessible credentials of buildings and their services by disabled people has been raised by the legislation, the design and provision of accessible facilities in our built environment is still woefully inadequate.

Conservation and restoration of existing buildings is a form of recycling and encompasses everything from the Listed Buildings administered by Historic England to a thirties semi in a suburban street. While the current economic climate in the UK has decimated the new-build sector of the construction industry, it has made us look again at our existing buildings, both commercial and domestic.
