Architectural Design Services in Hull

Most of our Hull work is residential. We design house extensions, loft conversions, barn conversions, renovations and new build homes for private clients across the city and surrounding area.

Hull’s housing stock is varied, from Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the Avenues to detached family homes in Anlaby, Kirk Ella and Willerby. Each property type brings its own design challenges, and we tailor every project to the building, the street context and what the client actually needs from the space.

We’ve designed everything from contemporary new builds with air source heat pumps and high performance insulation, through to sensitive extensions on older properties where the design needs to respect the character of the original building. View our residential projects.

Hull has 26 designated conservation areas and a significant number of listed buildings, particularly concentrated in the Old Town. If your property falls within or near a protected area, any proposed work faces stricter planning controls, and that’s where having a practice with the right experience matters.

We know what Hull City Council’s planning team expects in a heritage statement, how to handle Article 4 directions, and how to design proposals that respect the character of the surrounding area while still delivering the space and functionality you’re after. If your property is listed, we’ll manage the listed building consent process from start to finish.

Our work in Hull isn’t only residential. We’ve taken on commercial projects across the city, from office fit outs and workspace reconfiguration to retail unit layouts and change of use applications. Hull’s ongoing regeneration means there’s a steady stream of commercial property being repurposed, and we understand the planning and building regulations considerations that come with those kinds of projects.

We also design hospitality spaces, including restaurants, bars and entertainment venues. Getting a hospitality project right means balancing the client’s commercial vision with practical concerns like kitchen extraction, disabled access, fire escape routes and licensing requirements. We handle all of that within the design process.

A lot of Hull’s housing was built before energy efficiency was a consideration. When we’re involved in an extension or renovation, we don’t just focus on the new work. We look at the whole building. If the roof insulation is poor, it makes sense to address that while access is open. If the windows are original single glazed timber frames, there’s an opportunity to upgrade as part of the wider project. Small interventions add up.

On new builds, we go further. We’ve delivered Passive House projects in the East Riding where energy consumption is a fraction of a standard new home. That means lower bills, better comfort, and a building that holds its value. Read about our sustainable design approach.
