Koru Architects

Koru Architects is an award-winning, design-led, Sussex based practice that has earned a reputation for thoughtful, environmentally-friendly design and a 'client-centred' approach to projects. We had come across Koru Architects at the Weald Wood Fair over a few years and were sympathetic to their approach to new build. Mark laid out a number of design options taking into account our own aims and then adding his own ideas without being in the slightest overbearing. He built up a very good relationship with the builders, setting up regular meetings to review progress and to sort out, in every case successfully, any issues.

Competitions, certificates and awards are a valuable way of differentiating levels of skill beyond the training and registration all architects are required to complete. They help you commission with confidence while showing recognition to accomplished architects. RIBA Awards have been highlighting excellence in architecture in the UK and around the world for over 50 years. They are the most rigorously judged architectural awards and are based on the judgement of expert impartial panels after visiting the buildings.

All fully trained architects are registered with the ARB, which regulates the profession. Using their register means you can be sure your architect has the appropriate training, qualifications and professional credibility. Our director, Mark Pellant, has been an ARB-registered architect for 25 years. The RIBA Chartered Practice accreditation is internationally recognised as a commitment to excellence in design and customer service. The RIBA sets high professional standards that all members must follow to keep their accreditation.

Koru Architects is an award-winning design-led practice specialising in eco-design. We work in Brighton and across Sussex on residential and commercial projects, both new-build and extensions/alterations. Our creative and holistic approach to a project coupled with our ability for problem solving and lateral thinking enables us to explore many more options than may at first be apparent. Whether it be gaining additional floorspace from the same footprint, improving the chances of securing planning approval through thoughtful, sensitive design or creating inspirational spaces to live and work in, we always strive to add value to your project.
