Shape Architecture is a Brighton based practice working in London, Brighton and the South-East.
The cornerstone of our service is the breadth and diversity of our projects.  The benefits we derive from this cross fertilization enable our architects to offer a considered service to our clients

Experience 

We have also over fourteen years of experience of designing and building sustainable buildings which informs all of our projects.  Of equal importance is the emphasis put on clear communication using computer graphics at all stages of a project.

Our Approach

This approach has led to almost all of our projects coming from recommendation and repeat projects.  We have built successful relationships with developers, builders, charities and private clients on this basis.

Developers

To Developers we offer a wide range of experience in residential, mixed use, office and industrial projects.  We have a proven record in achieving planning permissions that maximize the value of the site and also achieving permissions in Conservation areas, Greenbelts and adaptations to listed buildings.  We have established relationships with a number of Developers and are used to visiting sites and assessing permissions for viability.   Our experience in sustainable design and use of computer graphics are also important factors in achieving permissions.

Contractors

To Contractors we offer a breadth of project type and scale that will allow the contractor to expand and evolve with our architects support.  Our expertise in sustainability is important, as is the use of computer graphics to communicate with various clients.  We have evolved this form of relationship with a number of contractors and look forward to continuing to do so.

Schools & Community Projects

To Schools and Community Organizations our architects bring a breadth of experience of designing school and community buildings and extensions at varying scales.  These all engage with sustainable design and are all described in clear computer graphics through their development. This enables us to offer a wide ranging service to include involving the staff and children in the design process.

Housing Associations

To Housing Associations our architects offer our experience of large scale residential projects.  The integrated approach to sustainable design that emphasizes daylight and sunlight, views and a connection with landscape are important factors in the creation of successful housing projects.

Private Clients

Our architects have over the years designed very many residential projects ranging from smaller extensions to large refurbishment and new houses.  We have written a brochure to describe the process that we give to each client as we seek to provide clarity and support through the design and construction processes.  As with other clients the use of 3D graphics is extremely useful in discussing the proposals and understanding the potential of each project.
