Business Details
We are DOVE ARCHITECTURE, a RIBA chartered architectural and interior design practice established in Cheshire in 2012 by director Derry Vaughan Edwards. Prior to founding our practice, Derry spent eight years as an associate at the award-winning Stedman Blower Architects, gaining extensive experience in high-end residential, listed building and education projects. We deliver architectural services for new build residential properties, house extensions, Passivhaus builds and commercial projects across Cheshire, Warrington, Knutsford, Wilmslow, Alderley Edge and the wider North West. Our interior design practice was launched in 2020 in response to repeated requests from our existing architecture clients, to deliver cohesive interior solutions that align with our architectural work. We specialise in creating contextually appropriate modern architecture that respects the character of its setting, including specialist expertise in listed building renovations. Sustainability is core to our work, and we integrate eco-friendly principles into all proposals, from small extensions to large new builds, including a current prototype zero carbon home and an onsite Passivhaus project.
We pride ourselves on solving complex design challenges presented by tight budgets, restrictive sites, planning constraints and varied client needs, to deliver beautiful, functional spaces. Our team of highly experienced RIBA chartered architects and interior designers take a collaborative approach, listening closely to client briefs to deliver designs that exceed expectations. We guide clients through every phase of the design process, from initial vision to final realisation, to ensure a smooth, transparent experience. We are committed to building long-term, valued relationships with our clients, underpinned by exceptional attention to detail and a dedication to delivering outstanding results. Every project we undertake reflects our passion for design and our unwavering commitment to client satisfaction.
