Architectural design

2hD are designers of spaces and places for people, and architecture is at the core of what we do. We offer a full architectural service, from helping our clients to understand their needs for a project, right through to running the building contract, conducting site inspections and certifying payments to builders.

We are firm believers in an in-depth briefing process, even for small projects and particularly when funds are tight. By really understanding the way our clients (be they individuals or organisations) live, work and think, we can find solutions that are creative, practical, and great value.

Having got our heads around the project, we set up a dialogue with our clients, involving them just as much as they want in the design process and decision making. We demystify each step along the way to create a true sense of shared ownership of the design. This principle of dialogue extends to our professional collaborators: we seek out collaborators with a similar attitude to their clients and engage early with planning and building control authorities to make sure we are heading in an achievable direction.

When the strategy is clear, we pitch whole-heartedly into working out the detail of our projects. Our priority is to make fantastic designs that work — on all levels.
