GROUNDWORKS ARCHITECTS LLP


OUR ETHOS
Groundworks Architects was set up to support private house clients and community led building projects.

We are experienced at working on the following building types

- one off individual house projects, new build and refurbishment
- community projects, including village halls, arts centres, community centres etc.
- housing refurbishment
- access improvements

INNOVATIVE DESIGN
All our projects aim to offer individuals and the community the sense of having created something special. We investigate use of colour, material and building forms to ensure that the building will function well but also to create senses of excitement, celebration and other qualities that can lift the spirit.

ACCESSIBILITY & DIVERSITY
We recognise the need for community led initiatives to be representative of all sectors of the community and through our work address issues such as accessibility, perception, barriers to involvement and the need for dedicated or culturally appropriate space.

Groundworks Architects has received an English Heritage Civic Trust Award for accessible design and works to the guidelines set out by the Centre for Accessible Environments. We have worked with many organisations representing minority or excluded groups such as Ashfield Women’s Centre, South Yorkshire Black Community Forum and Nottinghamshire Society for the Deaf to provide facilities that promote social inclusion.

SUSTAINABILITY
We produce environmentally responsible, energy efficient buildings with low running costs and have developed close working relationships with specialist consultants to provide environmental assessments, energy management, life-cycle and running cost advice.
