Bringing innovative, cost-conscious design and buildability to architectural projects across Staffordshire and beyond

What we do


We strive to achieve good quality, well considered and life enhancing architecture. We tailor our services to provide targeted and appropriate architectural services to construction projects that typically range from £100k to £2m in value. Generally, we apply ourselves to larger or more complex house remodelling and extension projects throughout Cheshire, North Staffordshire and around Manchester (although we do undertake commercial works, smaller projects and venture further afield – recently working for clients in Abersoch, Windermere and at Ullswater). We arrive on most projects through previous client or building contractor referral and many of our clients are construction and property servicing professionals remodelling, extending or refurbishing their own houses or undertaking their own development projects.

We collaborate with other design, planning and construction professionals and lead the design and procurement process, often on particularly complex and/or historic and Listed Building projects. We love Listed Buildings and clients regularly call upon us to ‘sort’ challenging projects.
