BELL VISION STUDIO
Based in Hampshire Working across the UK
Thoughtful design-led solutions that balance planning constraints, build ability, and strong architectural identity.
Modern residential architecture for
extensions, new builds, and adaptive reuse
Bell Vision Studio is an independent architectural design practice focused on contemporary residential projects — from carefully considered home extensions to bespoke new build houses and adaptive reuse schemes.
Each project is approached with a strong design concept, clear technical thinking, and an understanding of how real people live in real homes.

Design-led extensions that unlock space, light, and value - without compromising the character of your home.
From early concept through to planning-ready drawings.
New Builds
Bespoke contemporary homes designed around your site, lifestyle, an budget.
Clear concepts, strong visuals, and practical layouts that can be built.
Adaptive Reuse & heritage
Sensitive modern interventions within existing buildings and historic contexts.
Balancing architectural ambition with planning, context, and conservation requirements.

DESIGN APPROACH
Every project begins with a clear idea — responding to site constraints, planning policy, and how the spaces will actually be used.Rather than applying a fixed style,
Bell Vision Studio develops each design through: Context and site analysisSpatial planning and daylight strategy Material and form exploration Clear, buildable proposals suitable for planningThe result is architecture that is bold where it can be, restrained where it should be, and always purposeful.

Joshua Bell
Architectural Designer | Part 1 Architecture Graduate
I’m a Part 1 architectural graduate with 4 years’ on-site experience and a background in modular building engineering. I focus on well-detailed, buildable house extensions, combining clear design thinking with a strong grasp of Building Regulations, procurement and tendering, and stakeholder coordination. I regularly liaise with planning authorities and water companies (including build-over agreements) to keep approvals smooth and predictable. An aspiring architect, I bring detail-led problem solving from site to drawing board. This website showcases my portfolio, process, and technical understanding.

TECHNICAL SKILLS
Teamwork & Collaboration
Click to explore how collaboration shapes my approach to design and construction. At university, I co-led a simulated architecture practice, taking on defined roles within a design team—an experience that taught me how essential teamwork is to creative and practical success. In my current role as a modular building engineer, I see daily how miscommunication can lead to costly delays, proving that strong teamwork and clear communication are non-negotiable.
I also believe the client is a vital part of the team. As designers, we’re not just creating structures—we’re shaping environments that impact real lives. When everyone involved works together with purpose, the result is always stronger, more thoughtful, and more effective.
Innovation & The Future
Click to dive into my vision for where architecture is headed—both for the world and in my own career. I see a future where sustainability and innovation are no longer optional but integral. My passion for renewable energy has sparked a deep interest in how emerging technologies can reshape the built environment—from self-sufficient buildings to adaptive design solutions that respond to climate, community, and change.
This section is also about my personal journey. I’m driven to be part of a new generation of architects and engineers who think beyond aesthetics and functionality, toward lasting impact. My ideal future combines forward-thinking design with environmental responsibility, using architecture as a tool for real, measurable progress.
