Arbor’s Design Philosophy

We started Arbor Architects with a desire to design beautiful, contextual buildings which are inherently sustainable, and crucially, to work with our clients’ closely through the process. We love to design, and we love to work as a team, believing strongly in the power of shared thinking to arrive at creative and robust solutions. Over the years of working together we have honed our design skills, which enables us to utilise many different media (hand sketching, energy modelling, physical and digital modelling to name but a few of the techniques we use) to bring our clients an enhanced service that helps them visualise proposals and input into their shaping and refinement.

Kicking off 2023….

Happy new year to all our clients, colleagues and collaborators! We hope that 2023 gives us all the opportunity to break new ground, the time for causes we’re passionate about and ultimately, the chance to make a difference!

How much do architects cost?

Generally, architects charge fees in one of three ways, although not necessarily exclusively. It might be that on a single project there is a fixed fee up to planning stage, a percentage fee up to tender stage and an hourly rate during construction.
