Services
Architecture
We provide comprehensive architectural services from concept to completion. Our approach combines creative design with practical functionality, ensuring buildings respond to their context while meeting modern sustainability standards. Specialising in both new builds and heritage projects, we deliver solutions that balance innovation with respect for historical environments.
Sustainable Design
Our sustainable design service integrates environmental considerations throughout the design process. We create energy-efficient buildings that minimise carbon footprints while maintaining aesthetic appeal. This includes material selection, passive design strategies, and compliance with current environmental regulations for both new constructions and renovations.
Feasibility Studies
We conduct detailed feasibility assessments to evaluate the potential success of architectural projects. This includes site analysis, planning constraints review, and cost-benefit evaluation. Our studies help clients understand technical and financial viability before committing to full-scale development, particularly in complex heritage contexts.
Project Management
Our project management service covers all stages from initial concept to final delivery. We coordinate teams, manage timelines, and ensure compliance with regulations including CDM 2015. With expertise in heritage projects, we maintain quality control while navigating complex planning requirements across various building types.
Principal Designer
As Principal Designers under CDM 2015 regulations, we ensure health and safety compliance throughout the design process. Our role includes coordinating design teams, eliminating hazards, and providing pre-construction information. This service is particularly valuable for complex projects in sensitive heritage environments requiring specialist coordination.
