What This Means For You

That describes what we do, but what does that mean that you get? With Archangel you can expect to receive:

• An attractive building with a positive identity that sits well in its historic context; it is essential that the new public face of the building is well considered and skilfully executed. As with people, so with buildings - first impressions count.
  
• An achievable building, knowing how to produce design that is acceptable to the Local Authority planning, and where appropriate conservation, departments, and how best to guide the proposal through the negotiation and application process.
  
• A functional building, optimising the necessary compromises between competing needs.
  
• A delightful building that is a joy to use, and is easy for the first-time visitor to find their way around, with spaces that relate well and flow naturally together.
  
• An economic building that makes best use of limited resources, whether capital outlay, on-going revenue and maintenance costs; when detailing buildings we are always considering the environmental impact of the choices we are making.
  
• Quality presentation material that helps make the vision contagious by demonstrating what can be created and how it might be used, and by spreading that vision amongst stakeholders thus helping to encourage commitment to the project.
