Emrys Architects

EMRYS Architects: Living | Working | Learning The practice is driven by a belief that time spent listening to clients, exploring ideas, on teaching, or learning, is never wasted time. That investment in thought and dialogue and design pays for itself seve

We don’t like off-the-peg solutions.

We enjoy working on a broad range of projects – housing, the commercial sector, education and the arts – ranging from tiny one-off interventions to major-mixed use schemes.

We develop a bespoke solution for every project: a response to brief, budget and context and to clients’ and stakeholders’ aspirations and needs.
We offer the leadership, empathy and vision required to translate different – and often contradictory – agendas into the best possible results.

This rich mix of projects is informed by an over-arching set of beliefs.
We believe that buildings should be sustainable in their construction and efficient to run. Just as importantly, we design buildings that will themselves endure: that are flexible and robust with a quality of design, detailing and construction that will withstand the ravages of time.

We gain particular satisfaction from adjusting and restoring existing buildings to give them a new lease of life. And while we relish the opportunity of creating standalone modern buildings we believe that the best contemporary architecture establishes a dialogue with the past, conversing with – as opposed to arguing against – the historic context in which it lies.

We believe in maximising value for money. We design buildings that are cost-efficient to build and manage, and we make sure we build them on budget and on time.
