Over the years, we've expanded our reach and capabilities, adding Clive Petch Architects in Cheltenham in 1986 and Ritchie & Ritchie Architects in Lichfield in 2008.

Our approach is simple yet profound: "Excellence in design through knowledge, experience & understanding." We believe that architecture should not only serve its purpose but also inspire and enhance the environment. That's why we're committed to delivering outstanding and innovative designs that benefit the user and the wider community. We work at all stages within the design and construction process, from inception through to completion, and consider the diversity of our work and specialism in both new build and conversion projects to be key factors in our continued success.
