Our Story

Established in 1990 Manor Architects have built their reputation on delivering and adding value, irrelevant of scale or sector.

A change in directors since 2010 has seen the company expand its regional, national and international presence delivering strategically significant projects across the UK, ROI with commissions as far stretched as the USA and New Zealand.

As one of few RIBA Specialist Conservation firms in the UK and ROI, this is one of the many areas which sets Manor Architects apart. Design-orientated, commercially astute and personal in their approach, are some of the qualities you will find should you choose this firm.

Our Awards

Manor Architects have been proud to have either won or been nominated for multiple awards in the industry over the years. Have a look at some of the most popular ones below.

01. Research

We begin every project by researching the best approaches. Once the client and ourselves are satisfied with the proposed strategy and concept, it then progresses to the design stage.

02. Design

We ensure that everything, to the very last detail, is completed with efficient accuracy to meet the high standards we set ourselves and provide to our clients. Dependant on the project, this can be an involved process taking days or weeks. 

03. Develop

Once the concept design and feasibility are complete, we then begin the detailed development stage. Dependant on the project, this may take a variety of forms, from detailed design information, condition reports, economic appraisals to visualizations. Whichever form, the outcomes provide the client with the necessary information to make informed decisions about cost and how to progress.
