Gordon Melrose Building Design

Gordon Melrose Building Design provides architectural services for private and commercial clients, which are tailored to suit each individual project and client. Since the practice was established in 1995, we have undertaken over 1400 projects from small domestic alterations, to large scale school & commercial buildings. The practice’s philosophy is to provide high quality design based on the clients’ requirements, including budget. This includes taking a practical approach where necessary to avoid over complicating construction, which can result in escalating costs. We believe that working closely with clients in the early design stages, eliminates unforeseen cost ‘surprises’ during construction, and ensures an end product which fulfils the clients’ requirements. For bespoke houses, we believe that standard house designs should be avoided, and that as each site has its own individual qualities, then the new house should be individually designed to make best use of these. This ensures that the building takes advantage of the site, best views, sun orientation, access points etc. This does not necessarily result in additional building costs. This design ethos has been applied to all projects, resulting in successful completed buildings and satisfied clients.
