Our Design Philosophy

At HLM Architects, we're driven by a passion for creating buildings and spaces that respond to their context and climate, as well as our client's budget. We believe in putting people at the heart of our design philosophy, using our creativity to unlock the potential within each project to make a meaningful difference. We don't have a 'signature-style'; instead, we focus on delivering thoughtful, innovative, and sustainable solutions that meet the needs of our clients and the people who use the spaces we create. We call this 'Thoughtful Design', and it's at the heart of everything we do.

Our Story

HLM Architects was founded in 1964 by David Hutchison, Graham Locke, and Tony Monk, three students who won a design competition for the new Paisley Civic Centre. Since then, we've built a reputation for design excellence and expertise, with a focus on solving our client's challenges and mindful of the impact that design can have on people, communities, and society. Over the years, we've developed a deep understanding of our clients' needs, and we're committed to continuing to deliver exceptional results that make a positive difference.
