About the practice

NCA Architects create high quality contemporary buildings which exceed expectations within any budget. Understanding our clients’ vision is at the core of our practice with each project an original interpretation of the client’s brief, site and budget. Our approach is always personal and we believe the client should be involved in every aspect of the design and development of the building, as it is one of the biggest investments people will make in a lifetime. We have learnt that successful buildings are only possible as a result of solid relationships where everyone works together. We design with a firm grounding in construction, the craft of building and the use of a range of construction materials, whilst enjoying the inventive combination of traditional and new construction techniques. We endeavour to use natural and benign materials to make buildings which age with grace and which are constructed with minimum waste, energy use and pollution. We design durable, sustainable and very low energy buildings that reduce their impact on the environment and save clients money. We have a reputation for the quality of our buildings. We have experience in one-off private houses, listed buildings, luxury apartments, cultural buildings, leisure buildings and public realm projects. We have particular expertise in lightweight construction and timber buildings ranging from small kiosks to theatres. We are equally adept with rural and urban projects, newbuilds and conversions, private and commercial clients. We love what we do and our clients feedback is that they really enjoy working with us.
