Modus Architects, is an Isle of Man design-led architecture and interior design practice founded in 2013 by architect Jeremy Humphries, catering to a diverse clientele. Our clients typically include:
Individual Homeowners
Individuals and families seeking unique residential design. Those seeking unique, tailor-made residential architecture. This includes families desiring custom-designed homes that reflect their lifestyle and values.
Clients Seeking High-Value Projects

Design-Focused Clients

Clients Seeking Interior Design Services
Those who appreciate the integration of architecture and interior design. Led by Victoria Humphries, the practice also attracts clients looking for exquisite interior spaces that are both imaginative and pragmatically designed.
Our design-led practice creates imaginative and innovative buildings, from smaller-scale residential settings to complex urban environments.
Being a boutique practice, we offer a more tailored and involved client experience. We have steadily grown from undertaking small domestic projects to the full spectrum of architecture. The firm's expansion has resulted from many years of client referrals and an innovative project approach.
Contact us today to learn more about our combined custom home design, interior design, and landscape design service. We can provide vital guidance to you throughout your building project in several ways:
Site analysis:
We can analyse the site where you plan to build and provide recommendations for the best placement of the building, taking into account factors such as sun exposure, views, and accessibility.
Conceptual design:
We can help you develop a conceptual design for your building, taking into account your goals, needs, and budget. This design will serve as the foundation for the entire project and guide all subsequent decisions.
Planning permission
We can assist you in obtaining the necessary planning approvals for your project. We can also help you navigate Isle of Man planning law to ensure your project is compliant and meets all requirements.
Construction documents:
We can prepare detailed construction documents that clearly communicate the design intent and all necessary information to contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers. This includes detailed drawings, specifications, and schedules.
Contractor selection:
We can help you when selecting a contractor or construction team, including reviewing bids and qualifications to help you make an informed decision.

We only work on realistic projects
Before you start on your property development project, it’s vital to define your situation first and confirm whether your project is achievable. We recognise how stressful this process is, and we can help you through the complex process of seeking planning permission and planning and improving your property. We offer a free architectural phone consultation so that you can learn more about our services whilst we appraise the initial feasibility of your project. Allowing you to find out about the required level of budget, planning and design work needed.
A Sustainable Approach
Our sustainable design viewpoint reinforces choices at each phase of the design process that will diminish negative impacts on our environment and the well-being of the inhabitants without jeopardising the budget. Our main sustainability goals are to reduce resource consumption, minimise waste, and build healthy, productive buildings. As a demonstration of our leadership in the building industry, we have joined Architects Declare, The Isle of Man Chamber of Commerce Climate Change Working Group and support UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man. We incorporate national sustainability standards into every project.
Contact us
We are passionate about design and committed to creating spaces that inspire and delight. Choosing us as your architect is the right choice, and we look forward to working with you to bring your vision to life.
Our inspiration
We strive to celebrate and enhance our surroundings, sense of identity, tradition, relationships and the physical spaces we inhabit, whether natural or human-made. Homes, offices, museums, landscapes, woodland cabins, and the spaces between get the same attention and consideration to design.
About us
We can assist you with every task throughout the process, from the early project stages, by giving you impartial advice and helping you develop the Project Brief and through each project stage to construction and building hand over.
I cannot speak highly enough of the team at Modus Architects, and in particular Jeremy. He is highly professional, a pleasure to work with and delivered a result – both in terms of building design and ease of planning approval – far in excess of our expectations to design our new home, and to help us get planning permission to build this new development.
Our approach
We approach each design with an ambition to design buildings that suit the context, the brief and the budget. Our projects are strongly individual and express the unique characteristics of their sites as well as the aims and ambitions of our clients. Modus Architects undertakes a wide range of projects, including new dwellings and residential developments along with landscapes and interiors.
