You may have heard the rumours, but we can now officially announce that we have moved to our new home at Suite 3 Carlyle’s Court, in Carlisle. It’s a delightful place, just above the Sony Centre and Fujifilm on Fisher Street. The entrance is on St Mary’s Gate, snuggled between the Old Bank and Carlyle’s Court main entrance, not far from Whyte’s Café Bar.  So whether you’re in the mood for a warm cup of coffee or a refreshing pint, we are just a stone’s throw away. Exciting times ahead!  Click here for our new address…

Hoarding and scaffolding has now been removed revealing the new £6m Sandgate SEND School building in Kendal for Westmorland and Furness Council. Construction work continues and is due to be complete later this year. Great to be working with F Parkinson Ltd, Waterman Group, McGowan Miller Construction Consultants, and Pettit Singleton Associates.

We are thrilled to welcome Rod Hughes to our team. With an impressive architectural career spanning 40 years, Rod has been the lead of 2030 architects for many years. Still passionate about his work, he aims to continue sharing his vast architectural knowledge, especially in minimising environmental impact. He will be joining Architects Plus where he will help enhance our sustainable design expertise and build upon our existing in-house Certified Passivhaus design skills. Ian Hewitt, also previously of 2030 architects, with his own extensive sustainability experience joined us earlier this year.

Architects Plus have been working with Cumbria Health on Call (CHoC) to complete the total refurbishment of their new office headquarters in Carlisle.  Including extensive internal alterations for its new use, the building has been given a brand new lease of life with freshly insulated and rendered walls, double glazed windows and other improvements to the building exterior.
