Darwent Architecture Ltd is an award winning practice, offering clients creative and sustainable design solutions. We pride ourselves in promoting a collaborative approach to design; involving the client at all stages to ensure the project is completely tailored to your needs. We use the latest three dimensional computer technology to help visualise design ideas, create plans and environmentally test the proposals.
Our standard full service guides you right through from planning permission, building regulations and onsite contract procurement through to completion. We also have a trusted network of local builders who we have developed a solid working relationship with over the years, so we can also deal with the tender process for you.
The practice was established by James Darwent in early 2010 after he returned home to his native Peak District. James is a chartered member of the RIBA, bringing to the practice a wealth of personal architectural experience established during his training at the Mackintosh School of Art in Glasgow and working for the multi award winning Scottish practice, Gareth Hoskins Architects.

We believe it should be looked upon in a holistic sense, considering how our buildings and lifestyles affect our social, cultural, environmental and economic living conditions. Use of renewable technologies and micro generation such as biomass / ground source heat pumps. Introducing sufficient thermal mass to buildings to act as a thermal store so reducing heating requirement.
A build project can be a stressful undertaking even to experienced developers. It can be time consuming with many hidden pitfalls impacting both on the overall quality and cost of the final project. The role of the experienced architect is to maximise the potential of your project at a cost you can afford.
The practice was recently a finalist in the 2020 Northern Design Awards under the 'Residential Build Category, ' for our arts and crafts inspired new build house. In Build Magazine's 2015 National Architecture Awards we were awarded 'Small Architectural Practice of the Year'. We were also a finalist for the Technical Building Excellent award in 2014 for Small Commercial Projects in the the LABC (Local Authority Building Control) Annual Awards.
