About Us
DH Architecture + Design is an architecture practice that prioritises innovation and sustainability in every project we undertake. With over 25 years of industry experience, we take a unique approach to every design, focusing on the needs of our clients whilst pushing the boundaries of architectural design.
We incorporate the latest technologies into our design process, including Building Information Modelling. BIM allows us to create highly co-ordinated and detailed 3D models that ensure accuracy and precision in every aspect of the design. This allows projects to run smoothly both at the design stage and on site.
Our team has a proven track record of delivering exceptional architecture, and we take pride in our collaborative approach. We believe that great architecture is the result of open communication and co-operation between our team, clients, consultants, and contractors.

“Very happy with DH Architecture + Design. Both Stephen and Ali listened to my ideas and then added their own flair and expertise. I consider my project to be quite modest but this has not affected their enthusiasm and attention to detail. The planning and building regs process went very smoothly which I am sure was largely due to their preparation of the drawings, knowledge and professionalism. I would certainly recommend them.”

“DH Architecture have drawn some plans for some renovations and side extension to our bungalow – throughout the process Stephen listened to our requests and gave us options as to what could be included in the budget. The planning application was dealt with and the necessary ground investigations so that we were good to go as soon as planning was granted. Looking forward to seeing the plans transform into our new home.“
