General information

We are architects and development consultants with a wide range of experience of all aspects of the construction industry. We are a small friendly approachable practice with a young dynamic workforce. Our diverse range of skills and backgrounds give us the resources to take on a wide variety of projects within the public, private and corporate sectors.
We seek to bring an imaginative approach to every commission and recognises that success is reliant on thorough project evaluation, cost control and management. It is to these essential ingredients that we are firmly committed.
We believe that these considerations, combined with creative thinking and design excellence, are the key to adding value both in terms of architectural quality and value for money.

We have been specialists in designing environments for children and adults with Autism since 1996. Our experience in designing for a wide range of disabilities is considerably longer, encompassing residential, educational and respite facilities, new builds and the adaption of existing builds.
We are particularly dedicated to this area and great care is taken to avoid the institutional look and to create a sense of home from home. Our intent is to create an ordered and caring environment where children and pupils feel safe and carers and teachers can excel in their roles.

Autism-Friendly Design

We consider a consultation approach to the initial brief is key to a successful design. This ensures that as many needs as possible are met within the budget. In particular input from carers and support staff who are at the sharp end of care is crucial.
Members of the practice regularly make specialist contributions to conferences, publication and research initiatives. See www.autism-architects.com/conferences for more details.
We welcome enquiries from organisations looking to design a new build or refurbishment for people with Autism. We are currently advising overseas authorities on the design of new schools for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
