Architects in Nottingham
Our City
Nottingham is a city rich in historic architecture. We believe transforming historic buildings to be used to their full potential in the 21st century takes skill.
If you’re looking for an architect in Nottinghamshire, our creative and technically skilled team can help you get started on your project. We design everything from sympathetic extensions, remodels and renovations, to complete residential developments and commercial builds.
Taking Inspiration from Local Architecture
The nature of Nottingham architecture highlights the importance of designing a building that fits in. From the gothic splendour of Watson Fothergill’s buildings and the history of The Galleries of Justice, to the industrial beauty of the Nottingham Contemporary art gallery, the city and its surrounding county have an impressive array of varied architectural styles.

Heritage Architecture
As a conservation and heritage specialist, we don’t just do white boxes. We design modern living and working spaces that enhance period features and work for home owners, visitors, staff and clients.
A Sense of Place
Whether you’re looking for an architect in West Bridgford, The Park Estate or the Vale of Belvoir, we can help you transform a dark Victorian terrace into a bright modern family home, bringing much-needed space and adding balconies and mezzanines for a dramatic finish.
