architectural detailing

Atkinson Architects have an excellent reputation for the quality of our work. We design using the finest elements to add richness and texture to our architecture.

Particularly beautiful detailing of natural materials that subtly patinate and improve with age is only achievable through our construction expertise and familiarity with skilled, artisanal tradesmen to execute the works on-site.

We have an ‘earthy and hands-on’ approach to architecture - spending a lot of time on-site to fully understand the location and surrounding environmental characteristics.

Joinery Craftsmanship Repairs

For existing buildings, whether they are modern or historic, our forensic site inspections and surveys help reveal their layering and condition that are essential parts of good conservation practice.

We look carefully at old buildings to understand how they have evolved, their state of repair and identify any problems - a skill that can only be attained through years of first-hand experience and research.
