About us
We are serious about achieving quality in our work.
We take time to really listen to our clients – to make sure we’ve ‘got’ what’s on their minds. We interrogate the brief to ensure the project is on a key footing and then we focus on creating a design solution that’s properly ‘individual’. The design process is rigorous, everything is tested, every option considered.
To help us with our innovative work, we draw not only on time-honoured sketch book skills, but on computer modelling and physical models, we are backed by computer aided design tools and an extensive material and sample library. All of these resources are marshalled to achieve maximum added value for the client and the best quality of service, technology and design.
Since inception of our practice in July 2000, we have brought the same level of dedication and expertise to every commission large and small. It matters not whether we are creating a piece of bespoke furniture or a large school building, a dance school or a residential refurbishment. Every project is precious and we take our client’s trust in us very seriously. We are experienced and pragmatic, fresh thinking and innovative, we are Curtis Wood Architects.
