Architects in North Leeds

At Horsley Townsend Architects we are an architect practice specialising in projects of all shapes and sizes in North Leeds – from house extensions and refurbishments through to new build houses and commercial, industrial and retail buildings.

If you’ve been looking for architects North Leeds wide, we think our architect services stand out for their high quality and great value.  With over twelve years of experience in a huge variety of projects, at Horsley Townsend we’ve worked in areas as diverse as inner cities, National Parks, Conservation Areas and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Whilst the majority of the projects that we work on are in and around Leeds and surrounding areas, our extensive project portfolio also extends from the south of England up to Scotland.

We have a wealth of experience and passion for working on listed buildings but also take great pride and satisfaction in transforming contemporary buildings into inspiring places for people to live or work in.

How we work

Our approach is simple: we aim to offer a combination of excellent design combined with professional and technical experience.

We’ll begin by meeting with you at your North Leeds property to talk through ideas for your project.  We don’t charge for this part of our service – we’ll provide you with a written quotation so you can then decide if you’d like to take the project further.

What we do

The way in which we approach each project can be divided into several different stages and because we are members of the Royal Institute for British Architects (RIBA), we use the standard RIBA appointments.  This allows our clients the flexibility to appoint us for just one or two stages, or all four.

The first stage will take you up to the submission of a valid planning permission and this can then be followed by stage two, which is the submission of a building regulations application.

Stage three involves the preparation of detailed construction drawings and any other documents which may be required.  Construction drawings can then be used by you to obtain quotes from builders and once you have appointed a builder, to enable the builder to begin the actual construction phase.
