We are a small independent firm that uses the passion we have to design unique and beautiful buildings. We offer a wide range of architectural services mainly in the York and surrounding areas. We work closely with each of our clients and unlike many other practices we encourage client involvement throughout our design process. Our portfolio spans across both the commercial and residential sectors. Please have a look through some of our favourite recent projects below and our client testimonials page.
Services
At Architectural Services York we aim to provide excellent customer service as well as unique, stand out designs. Whether it is for a unique environmentally friendly new build or a traditional extension when you come to us we are able to provide you with fully encompassing service. We will draw up and submit to the relevant authorities the planning applications needed as nearly all extensions and structural work will require a permit.
Working on a wide range of projects allows us to utilise the skills we have gained from our past experience and adapt our techniques to suit a range of builds. We strive to provide an outstanding service to all of our clients; we work closely with clients to ensure their ideas become a reality. We have worked on a vast spectrum of designs and have always ensured we work to the most energy conservative policy we can.

I came across John's business in an internet search when I was looking for a York-based professional to draw up the plans for our new kitchen extension, and I couldn't have found anyone better. John provided an excellent service: he listened to our ideas and translated them into the perfect design, gave us important planning advice, submitted the planning application and building control documents on our behalf, and was on hand to answer questions and queries whenever we had them. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to begin a home building project.

John has been a pleasure to work with.
I own a construction company and as such come in to contact with many architects but have found john to be the most professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with architect that I have come across.
So much so that we recently used him for our own home project.
He worked wonders with not only incorporating everything we wanted within the build, but also in working along side the council to see that our plans were carried through without issue.
My business recommends his services to any of my clients that require an architect as I know with john that

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
This has been our first extention so really needed guidance. John had some good ideas to point us in the right direction and taking our budget into consideration. He's been been very responsive with all emails and text. No question was too daft. I would highly recommend him to friends and family.

John has provided a fantastic service on two projects on our house: a kitchen diner extension and a loft conversion (a couple of years apart). In both cases, he visited the house, discussed what we wanted, did the drawings, submitted the planning application for us and then helped us to make the required changes. He has always been really responsive and professional, including when we ran into issues with planning. We have already recommended him to our new neighbours!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
John really went above and beyond for us on our own home project that faced some difficulties with the planning office. From the very beginning, John's advice and approach was clear and straightforward and has given us the result that we wanted.
He has been at the end of the phone when needed and kept us frequently up to date on everything through email. We couldn't have asked for much more in terms of service. Thank you, John and we look forward to working with you again in the future.

John is great to work with very professional, very efficient and helps along every step of the way. John designed my extension put this in for planning, worked with the planning agent and managed to get through more than I thought was possible.
I recommend John whenever a client of mine needs advice or drawings and happily give him a five star rating
Thanks John 👍

John has provided a fantastic service on a couple of projects. We converted an old Station into 2 holiday cottages along with a new build on the site. John was very creative with ideas and layouts. The schemes were always practicle in terms of the actual build. Always extremely responsive, and such a friendly and great guy to deal with. Latest project has just gone through planning, not an easy task but expertly managed. Couldn't recommend John highly enough.

From start to finish my project has been dealt with professionally and promptly. John is easy to work with and understood my brief and requirements. I have changed the brief a couple of times and John was always extremely accommodating and patient. I would have no hesitation to recommend anybody to use Architectural Services York. Thank you John, I cant wait for building work to begin! Jackie.
