About Us

About Us

We are about providing well considered buildings to meet both the needs of our clients and the environment in which the building sits.

We strongly believe that good design can have both a positive impact on how we live, and also our environment. Sustainable design should not be thought of as an add on; it should be the norm.

We take time to understand our clients needs and wants and to foster a relationship with our client where all parties embrace and hopefully enjoy the whole experience.

Established in 2005 as Ennerji Projects by Vaughn Allington, the practice has steadily grown to a team of four. In 2015 the practice re-branded to 16A Architecture.

Vaughn Allington

BSc (Hons) Building

Engineering & Management

Having studied Building Engineering & Management at university, Vaughn went on to work for a national contractor as a graduate engineer. Moving to East Devon in 1995 to join a family owned construction company he gained experience in all areas of design and construction on a very wide range of projects.

In 2008 Vaughn established what is now 16A Architecture to allow him to focus on his passion for architectural design. Vaughn has a strong interest in sustainable design and is keen to promote this on projects wherever possible. He is also fastidious on detailing!
