Architype .

Architype is a recognised leader in the development of sustainable architecture in the UK, and has been responsible for many innovations involving both design and materials. Founded in 1984, the practice now operates from two busy offices in London and Hereford, and is currently working on a range of projects across the UK and abroad. We create inspiring and optimistic places in which people can live, work and relax; in buildings that perform as they should; delivered through an enjoyable, trouble free, design and construction process. We are 60 highly motivated people who believe in the power and potential of architecture to achieve a more socially, environmentally and economically sustainable future, for our clients and wider society. What Is Our Approach? As the UK’s leading architects for sustainable buildings, we design with an energy and commitment that changes lives for the better, by creating places and spaces that have a positive impact on the people who use them, and on the immediate and wider environment. Our remit is broad and always exciting. Whether we are working on a private residence or a factory, a hospice or a school or university, we know we are influencing people’s lives and that the buildings we design will be used for many years to come. It’s our conviction that we should push at boundaries, that there is a better way. It’s our intention that clients are liberated and empowered by the process of working with us and by the buildings we deliver for them. Wherever possible, we carry out a period of thorough consultation, an immersion into the issues and needs of everyone who will occupy the building. We involve them in the process of describing their ambition and developing a plan that is informed by everyone’s contributions. This ensures we deliver the building they have a right to, a place they will be proud of. We love what we do - the profound sense of engagement that comes with each new project, the union of great design and credible sustainability, the pleasure we can bring, and the ripple effect each completed building has on society. We believe in sharing knowledge and experience, and enjoy the positive impact we can achieve by providing specialist consultancy advice to other architects, engineers, clients and contractors.
