Over the last 10 years we have developed into an award-winning architectural practice working across the UK. We based ourselves in Altrincham from day one when the town was struggling commercially and our development as a successful practice has run parallel with the renaissance of the town.
Kitson Architecture is headed up by directors Mark and Ellen, and alongside colleagues Daniel and Michael we have 75 years of combined industry experience.
As a dynamic, adaptive practice our ethos is to provide workable solutions to any brief using creative thinking, practical reasoning and technical knowhow. We always endeavour to achieve the highest standards in architecture based on the requirements of the brief, budget and timescale.
We thrive on the creative process which underlies our profession, be it initial conceptual ideas, detailed design or dealing with the nitty gritty on site. We enjoy working in a team and, best of all, seeing our clients happy with the finished product.
Our Work
We work across a wide variety of sectors for varied clients including multi-nationals, developers, pension funds, private clients, contractors and consultants:
- Hotels and leisure
- Apartments and housing developments
- Data centres and Critical Infrastructure environments
- Retail
- Office and commercial
- Warehouses and industrial
- Community projects
- Heritage including Grade I and Grade II* listed buildings
- Working within UNESCO World Heritage Sites
Our wide network gives us the ability to pull together a full design team of equally respected consultants should it be required.
We are enthusiastic about keeping up to date with trends across the construction industry and the wider commercial environment. To do this we are committed to staff training, frequent CPD seminars, research and field trips.
Our Services
We don’t look to impose a house style or solution as we believe every project deserves a fresh approach and a design suited to its particular context and requirements. We offer a full architectural service and we are equally happy to be involved in individual stages if preferred.
Architectural services we provide include:
- Brief development
- Feasibility design
- Concept design
- Masterplanning
- 3D modelling
- Planning and Listed Building applications
- Building regulations submissions
- Construction information/ detailed design
- Contract administration
- On site services
- Lease and land registry compliant plans
- End of lease refurbishments (dilapidations)
During the design process we look to explore the options available and propose what we believe is best for you and your goals. We employ long-term thinking to ensure you have a sustainable solution, and where needed we can help you develop a strategic master plan for your future.
Networking
We love networking both in Altrincham and further afield and we continue to fundraise for two local charities, Prevent Breast Cancer and The Children’s Adventure Farm Trust. We are voluntary BID members and enjoy being part of this vibrant group of local businesses.
