Established by Mike Wood, a Chartered Architect with extensive experience in residential and commercial development, ADDC Architects combines creative design with environmental responsibility. Our practice is rooted in three core principles: providing shelter and comfort through aesthetic design, achieving economic security through strategic development, and fostering intellectual growth via creative expression. As members of the Royal Institute of British Architects and the Institute of Historic Building Conservation, we specialise in conservation projects, historic building restoration, and sustainable design solutions. Our work with the Derby and Sandiacre Canal Trust demonstrates our commitment to urban regeneration and green infrastructure, including initiatives for zero-carbon energy production. Recognised with awards such as the RICS Silver Award for Regeneration and the Civic Trust Commendation, we prioritise legacy-building projects that balance heritage preservation with modern functionality.Collaborations with organisations like the Clean Rivers Trust highlight our dedication to global environmental challenges, from waste management in the UK to sanitation projects in Ethiopia. Our team's expertise in planning control, heritage buildings, and conservation areas ensures compliance with legal standards while delivering innovative architectural solutions. With a focus on community-driven development, we aim to create sustainable spaces that enhance both urban environments and natural ecosystems. Our philosophy merges artistic vision with technical precision, ensuring every project contributes positively to society and the planet.
