Sutters Partnership

Architecture will always be our core service but we recognise the importance of our in-house planning service. We integrate the two at an early stage to avoid the pitfalls that often arise when initial designs are developed from a generic checklist of planning policies. By adopting this more nuanced approach, we are able to guide our client’s expectations from the outset. Our success in gaining consent, even in sensitive conservation areas and when dealing with heritage assets, is testament to the way in which we work. We adopt a light touch, low energy approach to architecture for both new build and retrofit. Many of our projects employ Passivhaus principles and we aim to make the most of a site’s intrinsic natural resources. We believe that the spaces between buildings should be well designed and integrate our schemes with their wider setting. We therefore offer landscape design services often in close collaboration with our arboricultural partners.
