Ten years may not seem like a very long time to some, but it’s enough time for architects such as us to make a name for ourselves. Architecture is in our very souls and is something that we always strive to do correctly. We are based in London, but that doesn’t stop us from serving clients who live around the world as well.

The design process is a vital one in architecture, whether the project involves domestic, residential or public buildings. It is comprised of multiple phases that are worked through in order to establish a true vision of the proposal. One of the first stages, originate, includes all the thought, discussions and explorations which lead to the moment when you realise you need something new. This phase will conclude once you decide to move forward.

During the focus phase you define the project. This includes the scope, functionality, purpose and features that the structure possesses. When you hire us, together we will build and refine your vision. You will identify the necessary services which you require from your architect and the design team shall start to form a cohesive relationship and a shared concept for the finished structure.

After the project requirements have been established, the designing can start. Your architect gives form to your proposed ideas through the use of written specifications and drawings. Your input here is paramount, as you get the initial glimpses and then a clearer image of the shape your building will take.

The architects become arguably the most active members of the team during the build phase. Material investments are made and timetables are needed to ensure deadlines are met. Brilliant communication with the project team is critical, as changes are frequent and your architect needs to discuss them with you to make certain they’re compatible with your proposals.

At Coffey Architects no job begins without proper preparation. Without an adequate design, the proposals will most assuredly fall apart, making it important to establish one straight away. We have experience with domestic, public and commercial architecture, offering flexible services to suit the needs of our clients.

If you require our architects for your own needs, you need only ask.
