ARCHITECTS
IN SUFFOLK
Award-winning architecture, conservation and design across Suffolk.
RIBA Chartered Architectural Practice in Suffolk
Our team includes architects who are accredited by the Architects Accredited in Building Conservation (AABC) scheme and hold Specialist Conservation Architect (SCA) accreditation from the RIBA.
From our studio on Ipswich’s Waterfront, we work on architectural projects across Suffolk, from private homes, extensions and new builds to commercial, community and ecclesiastical buildings.
Suffolk has a rich and varied architectural heritage, with historic towns and villages, listed buildings, churches, country houses and distinctive coastal and rural settings. Our experience of working throughout the county gives us an understanding of the opportunities and challenges these buildings and locations can present.
Conservation is a particular area of expertise for our practice and we have extensive experience of working with listed and historic buildings. We combine an understanding of a building’s history and significance with thoughtful design to create practical, sustainable spaces that work for the people who use them today.
What we do
Our work in Suffolk
Our work across Suffolk includes private homes, listed and historic buildings, churches, commercial spaces and community projects. Here is a selection of projects from across the county.
Working with an architect in Suffolk
Every project starts with understanding what you want to achieve, the opportunities offered by the building or site and any practical, planning or conservation considerations that may affect your plans.
We can support you from the earliest stages, including feasibility studies, site appraisal and development of the initial brief, through concept design, planning and listed building applications, technical design and project delivery.
Our team can also coordinate with planning and conservation officers, specialist consultants and contractors where required, providing continuity and guidance throughout the project.

Experience we bring to your Suffolk project
Local Knowledge
Based in Ipswich, we have worked on projects across Suffolk for many years and understand the county’s varied architectural character. Our experience of working with local planning and conservation teams can also help clients with planning requirements and the consent process.
Conservation Expertise
Conservation is at the heart of much of our work. Our team includes accredited conservation architects and has extensive experience of repairing, restoring and adapting listed buildings, scheduled monuments and other historic properties while respecting their character and significance.
Support from concept to completion
We can be involved from the first conversation and feasibility work through design, planning and technical stages to construction and completion. Where a project requires additional expertise, we can also coordinate with specialist consultants, craftspeople and contractors to help bring the design to life.
