Geoffrey Wallace Limited
Architects in Penrith, Cumbria
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars18 September 2017
“I worked with Geoff back in 2014 when he designed a pair of semi detached houses for me. I cannot recommend him highly enough; he listened to what I wanted and no adjustment however small was ever any trouble. I truly believe Geoffs expertise resulted in the best possible houses I could have hoped for on the site. His many years of experience shon through and he provided me with invaluable advise throughout my build.. I'd use him again in a heartbeat.”

“Haigh Architects have provided a consistently professional service over the many years we have worked with them.

Ben Cunliffe Architects Ltd
Architects in Penrith, Cumbria
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 February 2015
“I employed Ben Cunliffe and his team to redesign my two bedroom single storey home with a view to creating a two storey family home. My brief was to maximise space and light and where possible to incorporate green technologies. Ben's design process was inspirational. After 2 meetings we had agreed a design to go to planning and 8 weeks later we had planning permission. His design ideas encapsulated everything I wanted and more. We were able to design a building that had floor to ceiling windows in every room maximising light and views from every room. The ideas of breaking up the exterior of the house with different local materials appealed to me and I am delighted with my contemporary home built with local stone and larch. Ben's knowledge of green technologies was exceptional and we decided to go down the route of installing a ground source heat pump leaving the plumbing and electrics in place to add solar panels at a date. I couldn't have been happier with the service, advice and guidance I received.”
WK Design Architects

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 November 2014
“We have engaged WK Design to assist us in the design of our new house; this is a very exciting but also stressful process! We found WK Design to be reassuring partners giving us confidence and choice at a time when so many crucial decisions need to be taken. They are able to listen and reflect upon our design choices as well as appreciate our wider needs and respond with a range of creative alternatives which stay true to 'the brief'. They have detailed expert knowledge but are able to communicate it with simple clarity. In terms of liaison with other professionals they enjoy good working relationships with Local Authorities and other agencies and are able to quickly anticipate and resolve potential difficulties.”

Architect or Architectural Designer FAQs
An architect is a professional who designs and creates building plans, ensuring the building is functional, safe, and aesthetically pleasing. They collaborate with clients to understand their needs and create designs that meet their requirements. Architects also consider building codes, regulations, and sustainability principles in their designs. They may oversee the construction process to ensure it aligns with the design intent.
If you are looking at a house extension or building a new home from scratch, chances are you are going to need the help of a residential architect. They have extensive knowledge of architectural design, construction methods and building materials, not to mention a strong appreciation of ergonomics – warmth, light and flow within a property. Architects will also be far more capable of seeing the bigger picture – carefully balancing aesthetic appeal with structural safety. With their local knowledge, your Penrith architect will also often help to obtain planning permission and building regulations approval.

    After choosing a residential architect, you will usually start with a consultation to discuss the project. Preferably at your property or building site where the work will be done. Give as clear a picture as possible of the kind of home you are trying to create to your architects. Chat through your goals, projected budget, scope of work, schedule and feedback, together with any very specific requirements you might have. They will explain their process to you alongside any other on-site visits up to and including the build stage, depending on whether they will be involved at that stage. From there they will produce the designs and plans required for your project.
    The cost of hiring an architect in Penrith can vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project, experience, reputation, and location. Architectural fees are typically structured as a percentage of the project’s total construction cost, ranging from 8% to 15%. For example, if a project has a construction cost of £500,000 and the architect’s fee is 10%, the fee would be £50,000. It’s advisable to discuss fees and payment structures with architects in Penrith during initial consultations.
