Transforming Spaces, Enriching Lives
At Arts Architecture, we pride ourselves on being a RIBA-registered architectural design and consultancy practice that combines passion for the visual and performing arts with a deep commitment to fulfilling our clients' individual needs in the creation of their built environment. Founded in 2005, our team of experienced architects and interior designers, led by Director David Wright, has an impressive track record of delivering high-quality projects across residential, mixed-use, arts, and cultural sectors.
Our Approach
Listening is at the core of our approach. We come to every project with an open mind and believe that good design arises from a thorough understanding of the needs and aspirations of the user client. Our job is to help them visualise their needs and express their ideas, and to give them concrete form through a careful balance of innovation, practicality, and affordability. That is why we like to be involved in projects from the early stages, helping develop the brief and preparing options studies before developing solutions.
Our Services
We offer a wide range of services for commissions, including architectural design, interior design, measured building and condition surveys, planning advice, planning and building regulations regularisations, listed buildings advice, brief writing and project development, feasibility and option studies, conservation plans and heritage statements, access audits, museum exhibition design, museum and gallery planning consultancy, theatre and auditorium planning, and sustainable architectural consultancy.
Meet Our Team
Our Director, David Wright, has over 35 years' professional experience, gained in both the arts and cultural sectors as well as more recently in residential development. A chartered member of the Royal Institute of British Architects, David has designed, built, and refurbished many high-profile cultural and heritage buildings and interiors in the UK and abroad. He is supported by our architectural team located in our office in Maidstone. Rowena Willard-Wright, our Senior Consultant, brings over 15 years' experience working with museums, cultural organisations, and historic buildings to the team and provides museum planning and collections management consultancy.
Our Philosophy
We believe in design that responds to and complements the existing environment whilst avoiding self-conscious pastiche. We are also committed to design for sustainability and encourage clients to incorporate sustainable energy principles in the early stages of design of their buildings, subject to independent advice on the potential financial costs/benefits of adopting sustainable design solutions.
