POW Architects

POW architects view the practice of architecture through a wide-angle lens. Understanding – and being active across – the full project spectrum, from pre-concept to post-completion, helps us make architecture, better. We are equally adept at working in close-up, engaging with the specific challenges that each aspect of the process presents. We are an emerging studio with big-practice expertise. Our office is a place for trading intelligence. By fostering an atmosphere of sustained learning, we build on our successes and keep improving through research and innovation. We enjoy un-poetry. That is, buildings which are elegant as much for the way they are put together as for the way they are drawn. We achieve this by adopting a practical perspective, applying smart technical thinking in a purposeful way. We sit on your side of the table. We value partnership and co-operation, and approach every project as a shared adventure. Such adventures thrive on honest exchange, and for this reason POW directors are closely involved throughout. We are available and answerable. We are RIBA Chartered Practice. Choosing an accredited RIBA Chartered Practice will give you peace of mind. We comply with strict criteria covering insurance, health and safety and quality management systems. We apply impartial and creative thinking to projects large and small, whether you are constructing, adapting or expanding a home or building a large development. We will guide you through the design, planning and construction process – from the early stage scenario of ‘what do I do?’ through to completion of the project.
