Services
Architectural Design
We provide comprehensive architectural design services for healthcare facilities, residential developments, and commercial buildings. Our approach combines creative vision with technical expertise to deliver functional, aesthetically pleasing spaces. Utilising BIM systems and 3D printing technologies, we ensure clear communication of design concepts throughout the project lifecycle.
Sustainable Architecture
Our sustainable architecture services integrate environmental considerations into every project stage. We specialise in creating energy-efficient buildings that meet modern sustainability standards while maintaining aesthetic appeal. This includes material selection, passive design strategies, and renewable energy integration tailored to each project's requirements.
BIM Services
We utilise Building Information Modelling (BIM) to enhance project coordination and efficiency. Our BIM services include 3D modelling, clash detection, and data management throughout the construction process. This technology enables better decision-making and reduces errors through accurate digital representations of building systems.
Project Management
Our project management services ensure seamless delivery of architectural projects from concept to completion. We coordinate all aspects including timelines, budgets, and stakeholder communication. With experience managing medium-to-large scale developments, we maintain quality control while meeting project milestones efficiently.
3D Visualisation
We offer advanced 3D visualisation services to help clients understand architectural concepts. Using cutting-edge software and in-house 3D printing capabilities, we create detailed models and digital renderings that demonstrate spatial relationships and design details before construction begins.

Report
Found this firm through the inept Find an Architect service through RIBA. After an excellent first meeting the firm failed to meet their own deadlines for initial drawings and when they did arrive they had ignored a vital part of the brief. When the revised set of plans arrived ( late again) they had once again ignored another not negotiable we had stressed. We dispensed with their services at that time but they still saw fit to charge c80% of their fee.
