We are an approachable team of architects, passionate about developing quality designs and delivering buildings that leave a lasting legacy. Taking a contemporary approach, whilst drawing on conservation principles, we specialise in the sensitive extension, refurbishment or adaptation of historic buildings and the creation of new pieces of architecture within historic urban environments. Awards are a winner with clients. It's always nice to receive recognition for what you do from your industry and piers; however, they do have a wider ripple effect that clients can really capitalise on.
Mass Architecture is a partnership founded by Charlotte Harrison and Glen McGowan in London in 2004. They relocated to York in 2009 and now work throughout Yorkshire and the North East. They have won design awards for their work in London and York and have been involved in a wide range of projects with local, regional and national clients. Mass Architecture's clients receive an exceptional service delivered by our highly experienced and committed team of architects. Mass Architecture is an RIBA Chartered Practice and has been a member of the Government pre-qualification body 'Constructionline' since 2007.
We fully support private clients on their journey to enhance, extend and transform their homes. The design approach is individually tailored to the age and setting of the property. We bring a wealth of experience to managing the stages of design and construction and can advise on how best to take your project forward, obtain the required permissions, as well as find a suitable builder. We specialise in helping clients with bespoke designs, listed properties or homes within Conservation Areas. Our private residential work has been recognised for its high design quality with York Design Awards in 2011 and 2016.
