About us

It all started in 1983 with a refurbishment for the Rising Sun pub in central Manchester.

From this small, local beginning we have grown and developed the practice to become specialists in providing architectural and interior design solutions to the pub and hotel industry.

Our portfolio spans projects from small independent breweries to major industry names. We take equal pride in providing tailored solutions to suit all budgets from small up to and including multi million pound developments.

Although leisure has become our speciality, we successfully design for other sectors such as retail, care and domestic clients.

Our strength lies in our team of architects and technologists, interior designers and project managers, whose diverse skills and backgrounds provide a full package of creativity and technical knowledge for our clients.

As an RIBA Chartered Practice we are required to have an ongoing programme of CPD and H&S training in place so that we are aware of current industry knowledge and latest safety requirements.

We also firmly believe that the team that plays together stays together – which is why on payday Fridays you could find us anywhere from a crazy golf course to a locked room challenge!

Our sensitive transformations of listed buildings have won a number of awards. The practice is currently in the process of providing the architecture and interior design services on some landmark hotel buildings. Our expertise includes creating luxurious guest experiences and overcoming challenges presented by historic buildings.

high street Pubs & bars

We have been designing pubs & bars for a number of clients since the practice started out over 30 years ago. Our architecture and interior design teams work closely together to transform these spaces into stunning pubs, while our project management experience means we can ensure everything runs smoothly.

airport pubs & bars

We have a wealth of experience in designing a range of concessions within transport spaces such as airports and railway stations. Often working to extremely tight deadlines both air-side and land-side, we can utilise our in depth knowledge of working in these busy environments managing the complexity of sign off procedures to ensure projects run smoothly from start to finish.

residentiaL & CARE

We work with a number of private clients to provide bespoke services to suit their needs. From residential care, one-off houses to house extensions and garden design, we can tailor our service to all needs. Currently we are working on a retirement home providing care in a high quality environment, and an individual home for a high-wealth family.
