About the practice

DS Squared Architects offers a complete spectrum of services including brief writing, strategic and master planning as well as works under conservation areas and listed buildings. We work directly with clients to understand their needs and ambitions. Their aspirations are then translated into material deliverables respecting timelines and budget constraints and emphasizing a need to create a positive contribution to the environment. Our practice often acts as lead consultants as part of the wider design team, taking the responsibility of co-ordinating all services on behalf of the client and aiming to provide the highest possible design quality delivered within the limits of every project. We have an excellent relationship with planners, consultants, contractors and sub-contractors; allowing projects to move forward swiftly and easily thus ensuring a smooth process. Ultimately, our services range from advice to full project design co-ordination and site observations to feasibility and quality control. On behalf of clients we undertake public consultations to move the creative aspirations forward. Over the years DS Squared Architects have built a reputation of quality and client satisfaction. Our services are extensive, but we tailor them around the requirements and challenges of each individual project following the RIBA Scope of Works that itemises the work sections from stages 0 – 7. However, to facilitate our clients’ understanding, we break our services into a handful of key stages.
