Commercial Property Architects in the South West

We are architects and interior designers working on commercial projects across the South West and beyond, from studios in Bristol and in Appledore on the North Devon coast. 

Our commercial clients span a whole range of sectors and include Derriford Hospital, Plymouth Argyle Football Club and the University of Plymouth, the Duchy of Cornwall, the Royal Horticultural Society, Taco Bell UK and Jetts Fitness UK. 

 

Our commercial property clients 

Our commercial clients include landowners, property investment companies and developers, hotel and leisure business operators, hospitals universities and schools. 

Our role, service and expertise in commercial architecture

As commercial architects working across the South West and beyond, we often work with our clients on feasibility and viability studies to evaluate sites, assets and plans to develop them.

Our early input helps our clients assess the potential value and deliverability of a project. Once a clients wishes to go ahead with a project, we can offer a full architecture service through all RIBA Work Stages.

We also offer a commercial interior design service and design management and technical consultancy services, helping contractors and clients ensure the successful delivery of a project.

You can find more information about our services by following this link.

At Derriford Hospital, we have been working alongside the team at Willmott Dixon in a Design Manager capacity, supporting the delivery of this project to ensure it progresses successfully, stays on budget, and meets the needs of the community it will serve.

In Taunton, we worked with the local council, with Mace and Midas Construction on the Coal Orchard, a mixed use scheme that forms the core the town’s regeneration.. 

For The Royal Horticultural Society, we developed a multi-functional events space and a new visitor centre at Rosemoor.

Our on-going work at the University of Plymouth has formed part of their wider estate masterplan.  

We are able to work with a wide consultant base as our drawings methods and systems are aligned to ensure that we can easily and consistently share and interrogate consultant's team's information throughout a project. 

Our team of commercial architects

Our RIBA Chartered Practice includes a small, energetic, talented team.

Together, we have an impressive breadth of experience covering projects of all sizes, shapes and scale across the UK. We might be compact in size but our ideas are big, and so are our capabilities.

We pride ourselves on delivering outstanding work whilst maintaining a highly personalised, friendly service.

Sustainable architecture and construction 

We are members of the Passivhaus Trust and the Association for Environment Conscious Building. We have certified Passivhaus designers in-house and appreciate the benefits of the Passivhaus approach. All our projects incorporate its benefits where viable on a practical and financial level. For more information, follow this link. 

What our clients say about us  

Justin and the team understood our wants and needs for our dream house immediately. We felt included and listened to throughout and were challenged and pleased in equal measure which has got us our planning approval! I 

Nicole Gvalda.
