Architype Information

Architype Ltd is an architectural practice working from offices in Hereford, London and Edinburgh. 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, school or university, we know we’re 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 produce for them. Wherever possible, we carry out a period of thorough consultation, an immersion in 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.
