Business Details
We are Greenspace Architects, an eco-architectural practice established in Ellesmere, Shropshire in 2010 by architects Kevin Slack and the late Robert Netherwood. Our extensive experience is rooted in producing high quality, low energy, and carefully crafted architecture underpinned by sustainable design principles. We have honed our skills working on bespoke homes for values-driven private clients who respond to our contemporary contextual design and our deep understanding of their needs. We encourage self-build clients to dream freely, utilising a fabric first approach that ensures walls, floor, and roof perform to the highest standard, often employing the AECB Standard or Passivhaus design. Our expertise also extends to retrofit projects, where we guide clients to transform existing structures into whatever they desire.
The practice is founded on the principles of sustainable placemaking, with the ultimate aim of creating beauty, as true sustainability comes from creating things people will love. We have successfully delivered projects across England and Wales, including one-off houses, housing developments, and commercial works. Our professional standards are demonstrated through our use of Revit software for 3D modelling to help clients visualise their spaces. We believe the best projects emerge when clients fully engage with the design development, giving back as much as they are given. Our commitment to client satisfaction is evident in our thorough process, from initial conversations to concept design, ensuring every aspiration is met with technical precision.

Services
Low Carbon New Builds
We design low carbon new buildings for self-build clients, utilising timber frame, SIPS, and ICF construction methods. Our knowledge of modern methods of construction and the planning process helps you achieve your dream project. The result is a high-performance home that often requires no fixed heating system.
Retrofit Existing Buildings
We transform tired, inefficient, or redundant buildings into incredible new environments through careful retrofit. Our service guides your project to turn whatever you have into whatever you want, addressing technical solutions and cost. This approach ensures existing structures are updated to meet modern performance standards.
Low Energy Conservation
We apply our low energy approach to historic buildings, maintaining their character while improving the fabric to 21st century standards. This service ensures beautiful structures are preserved but made more efficient. Our careful consideration transforms these buildings into sustainable, comfortable spaces.
Concept Design
During the Concept Design stage, we produce an option appraisal to communicate and review the evolving design with clients. We use Revit software to create 3D models that help you get a feel for the spaces within and around the building. This process amplifies 2D drawings and clarifies the project vision.
