Project Portfolio Examples

Jane Leach, chartered architect and founding director of iarchitect Limited, has over 25 years experience delivering architectural projects.

​Jane specialises in designing extensions and alterations to older buildings built before 1980, particularly Victorian Villas, with an emphasis on user-friendly eco-design and energy efficiency.

She has particularly high success rates with gaining planning permission for tricky projects - in the context of Listed Buildings and Ancient Monuments, in the Green Belt and in Conservation Areas.
