Spirit Architecture offers a full range of architectural services which you as the client can pick and choose to suit your project. As a RIBA Chartered Practice Spirit Architecture has extensive experience across a variety of building types and sectors. Spirit Architecture is based in the Cotswolds between Burford, Stow-on-the-Wold, Cirencester and Cheltenham. Projects have also been undertaken in Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Norfolk and Cornwall and the cities of London, Reading and Birmingham.
The title "Architect" is by law only given to people who have undertaken the appropriate degree level training (usually degrees over 5 years) and a minimum of 2 years "in practice" training before they take the Professional examinations to earn the title "Architect". If you want to check if someone is an architect then the ARB (Architect's Registration Board) maintains a current list of registered Architect's in the UK. So in the first instance you are assured by their level of training in design, and management of building contracts.
This stage identifies the needs and objectives of your project and any constraints on the site. We usually find an initial Feasibility Discussion or Sketch Design to look at options which helps you identify the viability of a project without too much initial expense. This stage moves your project on from the ideas stage into a format commonly known as the "Planning" stage providing drawings and ready for a Local Authority Planning or Permitted Development application. This stage includes more detailed design work and preparation of drawings and schedules to allow you to tender the works to builders and includes co-ordination with other professionals like Structural Engineers and Energy Consultants, and Principal Designer role for all Building Projects over 30 man days.
Spirit Architecture offers a flexible range of services to suit the requirements of your particular project. Most of the works we undertake are in the following categories although we are happy to offer initial advice and/or an initial free one hour consultation to review your needs whatever the project. To arrange a consultation please get in touch with the location and brief description of your project. Before you get in touch, be sure to have a read about how we work. We also have a FAQ section for common questions around projects and working with an architect.
