Chris Dyson Architects limited

THE PRACTICE:
We often work alongside specialist consultants, and this means we can be involved in a wide range of project scales whilst maintaining a very personal integrated approach.

DESIGN METHODOLOGY
We invest in the early stages of design as this is when most value can be realized. On architectural projects, close consideration of the spatial organization within the building provides distinctive structure from the onset. We aspire to an imaginative combination of technology and tradition. Excellence requires integrity and control of the design process from concept through detailing and construction.

PHILOSOPHY
Chris Dyson Architect gives particular care given to context, culture and environmental issues. Chris is interested in creating buildings of the highest architectural quality, maximizing the potential brief and location.
The Practice pursues an integrated approach to sustainable urban planning and design of low energy buildings. We focus on projects that will make a difference to communities and the environment. This ethos informs all our work from master plans through to medium and small architectural projects.

We take pride in delivering a very high standard of design that is presented in a form which is easily accessible to professionals and lay people alike.

BUILDING TYPE:
We have deliberately not over specialized by building type and continue to expand the range and depth of our expertise.

SENSE OF PLACE:
As architects we pride ourselves in having a sense of place. When we approach somewhere we are planning to build we are looking about the place all the time searching for clues, at the sky, the changing light, at the materials around us and how they relate to the subsoil beneath us.
