About Us

Architects Plus was established as a partnership in 1988. The five founding partners all came from local practices bringing with them a wealth of regional knowledge. They established Architects Plus within the converted shell of a former seed merchant’s warehouse in the centre of Carlisle and from these spacious and modern surroundings launched a dynamic, contemporary service. The practice expanded steadily, developing a diverse portfolio of projects and nurturing a talented pool of staff to become one of the largest practices in the region. On 30th June 2001 the partnership became a limited company – Architects Plus (UK) Ltd. The practice now has a very strong regional client base, operating throughout the north west of England and south west of Scotland, and also undertakes projects throughout the UK and overseas.

At Architects Plus we believe that every site, every client and every building is unique and must be approached that way. Customer satisfaction is paramount so with every project we adopt an approach that ensures the best possible solution is achieved. Key issues that we embrace and explore are…
• Design Quality
• Sustainability
• Buildability
• Value for Money
• Communication
We encourage client involvement at every stage of the design process, from initial concepts and feasibility studies through to completion, to ensure that the end product meets and exceeds the client’s aspirations and expectations.
