ABOUT
Then Now When was established in 2021 and has allowed us to explore our goals to create client focused, design led projects. Between us we have over 30 years of experience in practice, working on predominantly residential projects. Our complimentary skill sets enables us to adapt to almost any project and client request. Being a micro practice with just the two of us means that one of us will always be personally undertaking all of the drawings, research, and reports that we produce for your project. Meanwhile, working closely in partnership on all projects allows us to answer any queries even if the other is unavailable.
​
One of the main reasons we love our Then Now When projects is working directly with clients to help meet their aspirations for their homes. Each of our projects is bespoke and we consider every detail to ensure that our designs work for the building and its users.
Anna-Lisbeth Shackcloth
PARTNER
Sustainability Specialist
ARB RIBA
Anna is a Chartered Architect with an additional Masters in Green Building from the Centre for Alternative Technology, as well as being a Certified Passive House Designer. She undertook research into high performance incremental retrofit during her studies and is passionate about helping people to improve the energy performance of their homes.
Her design work is user focused, aiming to create architecture that is both practical and beautiful. One of her favourite aspects of a project is material selection as this can be so impactful to the final feel of a project as well as the health of users, contractors, the building and the sustainability of a project.
Outside of work Anna's love of architecture doesn't stop, she enjoys going to visit amazing and interesting architecture, both new and old. Aside from this she is a new mum to a gorgeous little boy and loves to take him for walks in the woods.
James Cusick
PARTNER
Conservation Specialist
IHBC Affiliate
James is an experienced Architectural Designer and Heritage specialist. Currently an affiliate member of the Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC) and is working towards accreditation for Associate Membership. Before going working full time on Then Now When James worked for The Classic Architecture Company working predominantly on high end residential projects, where he utilised his skills in detailed design to create stunning architecture where every detail was considered.
James grew up in Bath and has worked in Bath (and further afield) for over twenty years on numerous projects. He always finds that his work has an aspect of balancing the historic with the progressive: it needs to with the challenge our environment faces.
His projects have included the restoration of many listed buildings, protecting their history for future generations. However, the core of those projects has always been residential in all forms.
When not working James can still be found sketching.... or just cycling up a good hill!
