Holloway Foo Architects is a firm of RIBA chartered architects based in Birmingham, with a proven track record of delivering high-quality designs for schools, public spaces, and housing. Our team of progressive architects is open, friendly, and committed to working collaboratively with you to bring your vision to life.

We believe that architecture should be inspiring and inclusive, and we strive to create buildings that enhance the lives of those who use them. Our approach is centered on listening to you, understanding your mission and vision, and working together to develop designs that are both highly marketable and imbued with character, personality, and distinct identities.

Our expertise spans a broad range of sectors, from education and community spaces to residential and commercial projects. We are experienced in managing complex projects from inception to completion, and we are committed to delivering solutions that are thoughtful, intuitive, and beautifully crafted.

Our Work

Our work is driven by a deep commitment to good design and clever solutions that improve the quality of your project. We enjoy spending time with you, understanding your needs and aspirations, and exploring ideas to inspire your project. We are personally invested in each project, and we strive to be on the journey with you from start to finish.

In the education sector, we have delivered high-quality contemporary gathering spaces and inspiring naturally illuminated English classrooms for Sutton Coldfield Grammar School for Girls, reinforcing its reputation as one of Birmingham's leading educational institutions. We have also worked with St Dominic's Independent School to create a signature building for its new sixth form and performing arts center, providing an inspiring space for students and future West End stars.

In the public space sector, we have created vibrant new community centers, such as the Green Rivers Community Centre, that symbolize positive change and inspire lifelong learning within the local community. We have also worked with the Birmingham International Convention Centre to open entrance spaces and enhance the customer experience while helping the client reduce costs.

In the housing sector, we have secured planning permission for high-quality new build apartments on complex sites, such as the 14 new build apartments we developed in Cotteridge's local center. We have also progressed well on Phase 2 of our Royal Sutton Place masterplanning project, which involves building 56 new apartments.
