About the practice

Stead & Co. are a RIBA Chartered Architectural Practice based in Otley, West Yorkshire. We specialise in delivering residential and community projects, from home extensions to reconfiguring workspaces. We provide a full architectural and design service for a range of clients which include sports clubs, arts organisations, faith groups and homeowners. We follow the RIBA work stages, from feasibility studies to contract administration. We specialise in existing spaces. There is nothing more exciting than giving an existing building, whether historic, mid-century or relatively new, a new lease of life. All buildings have some sort of history, not just in terms of itself, but how it fits into the wider community and streetscape. Although we are based in the market town of Otley, we undertake work across Yorkshire as well as further afield. Sometimes we even venture into Lancashire.
