How Do We Support You from First Design to Final Build?
Our process is clear and collaborative. We begin with a conversation: What do you want your space to achieve? From there, we explore options that balance function, aesthetics, and long-term use.
You receive professional support throughout design development, planning submissions, and contractor liaison.
We pay close attention to every detail, from material specifications to site inspections, helping ensure the final construction matches your brief, budget, and vision.
What Types of Projects Do We Deliver?
Our architectural work in Durham spans residential properties, educational buildings, and community-led schemes.
Whether you’re working with a university on a multi-phase redevelopment or managing a private property upgrade, we offer the expertise to guide you from start to finish.
We’ve supported new build housing, school refurbishments, and commercial spaces that serve evolving environmental and economic needs. Our goal is to design buildings that perform, not just at handover, but for the years to come.
How Does Our Practice Promote Quality and Sustainability?
We believe quality architecture begins with care. Every design decision considers materials, energy use, and adaptability. Where possible, we help you meet or exceed current environmental standards. It’s not about ticking boxes.
It’s about creating better spaces for those who live, work, and learn in them.
From heritage-sensitive alterations to energy-efficient new builds, we apply the same rigour and care to every job. Our team believes in long-term thinking, so you’re supported beyond handover with architecture that continues to deliver value.
