Chartered Architect : Director
DipArch ARB RIBA
Founding Director and Principle Designer, Roger has over 40 years experience in residential, commercial, leisure and medical architecture. He has led projects internationally in Germany, the Netherlands, Latvia, France and Italy.

David Elliott
Associate | Architectural Designer
BEng(Hons) Architecture and Environmental Engineering
David joined Pell-Stevens Architects in 2017 and became an Associate in 2025. He works across the project lifecycle, from early feasibility and sketch design through planning and technical development to construction and completion on site.
David studied Architecture and Environmental Engineering at UWE Bristol, combining architectural design with environmental engineering and building services. He later undertook postgraduate architectural study at the Centre for Alternative Technology, further developing his interest in building performance, embodied carbon and the opportunities offered by natural and bio-based materials.
David particularly enjoys seeing projects develop from their earliest ideas into completed buildings and working collaboratively with clients, consultants and contractors to resolve the design and technical challenges that arise along the way. His approach combines design quality and technical understanding with a pragmatic interest in creating comfortable, durable and lower-impact buildings that respond to their setting and the individual needs of their clients.
Clayton Way
Part 3 Architectural Assistant
BA(Hons) MArch
Clayton graduated with a degree in Architecture and Design before spending almost two years at a Winchester practice, working on luxury homes, barn conversions , residential developments and French chalet refurbishments. He contributes across all RIBA work stages, from initial concepts through to completion, and is currently working through his final stages of study through the Level 7 Degree Apprenticeship at the University of Portsmouth.
Clayton’s interest in phenomenology informs his consideration of how spaces are experienced through light, texture, materiality and craftsmanship. His approach combines a keen eye for detail with careful attention to the relationships between materials, creating thoughtful and cohesive designs.
He particularly enjoys working with historic buildings, exploring how contemporary and traditional additions can respond sensitively to existing fabric. He is interested in how these interventions can reveal and extend a building’s architectural narrative, respecting its character whilst meeting our clients needs.
