The Design Partnership

Since our founding in 2002, we have built our reputation on a simple premise: providing high-quality, cost-effective housing solutions that don't compromise on design. Based in Cambridgeshire, we are a multidisciplinary firm of designers, quantity surveyors, project managers, and architectural technicians.

We understand that the affordable housing sector requires a unique blend of creativity and pragmatism. Whether you are looking for a bespoke single dwelling or a large-scale multi-unit scheme, we bring over two decades of expertise to ensure your project is delivered on time, under budget, and to the highest standards of modern construction.

Our commitment to excellence is best demonstrated by our work at Hill Farm in Foxton. This development of fifteen affordable dwellings was awarded the LABC Award for Best Social or Affordable New Housing Development.

For this project, we didn't just provide architectural services; we managed the quantity surveying, project management, and SAP assessments. By adopting a "partnered contract" approach, we fostered a collaborative environment that saw the project completed ahead of schedule and under budget. The design reflected the local agricultural heritage—using barn-style aesthetics and traditional materials—while achieving an EPC Band B rating through the use of air source heat pumps and triple glazing.
