Established in 1988 in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, we have operated from our offices in Leek since 1999 and currently employ 14 people, headed up by four partners, Chris Hesketh, Martin Mason, Patrick Redmond and Karl Lawton.

The four directors all take a hands-on approach in the design and management of projects across a wide range of sectors, with particular specialist skills and experience in medical healthcare, historic building conservation, regeneration and housing, and community architecture.

We listen and respond to our clients’ needs, and work with them to develop a design that meets and often exceeds their expectations.

All projects directly involve a director or associate throughout the design and procurement process from inception to completion, with project teams assembled to support individual projects needs. We offer an enthusiastic and dynamic resource capable of understanding clients’ aspirations in developing quality projects and buildings delivered on time and on budget.

The practice strives to provide high-quality, responsive design which addresses material, social and cultural needs whilst offering a professional and bespoke service, tailored to individual requirements.
