About the practice

Buttress is a leading design studio providing architecture, urban design, interiors and conservation design services. People are at the heart of our business and we enjoy working with a wide variety of clients from commercial businesses, to cultural organisations, to individuals. We’re thinkers as much as makers. Believe that architecture is as much about people as buildings, and that buildings should be shaped by their surroundings, their role and the people who’ll use them. Buttress is a community of specialists. We add value to all our work by bringing expertise and understanding; making seemingly complex issues understandable and enjoyable. Based in a single office in Manchester we share experiences, collaborate and bring together the various strands of our work to create something special.
