Acknowledging and respecting our past gives us a sound foundation upon which to develop our reputation for vision and value. Our design skills utilise the latest developments in the field of architecture, but this is combined with a commercial awareness that meets the needs both of the client, and of the wider community. From sensitive work on listed buildings, to modern and innovative architectural solutions, we take immense pride in playing an active role at every juncture and the practice has received several civic trust, conservation and mayoral awards. The practice is a chartered member of the Royal Institute of British Architects, which ensures that we are client-focussed and committed to excellence in design and service delivery. The RIBA ensures that we are compliant and up-to-date with legislation and professional development. Our Director, David Cox, adopts a hands-on approach and oversees every project. He was educated at the University of Manchester’s School of Architecture and then worked for several large practices in Manchester and London before moving to Germany in 1994, where he was project architect on a large-scale development in East Berlin. In 1997 he became co-owner of a multi-disciplinary practice in the city with a team of 7 technical staff, working on commercial and residential projects and several masterplans for Berlin and Brandenburg.
