Great to see this one off residential project nearing completion. We were engaged at the technical design stage and have overseen construction (original design by Doonan Architects). The proposals aim to bring the existing farm buildings back to life as a four-bedroom dwelling and protect them from further dilapidation. The scheme provides accessible accommodation through the construction of a new link extension. The original form and fabric is retained and enhanced, while n

As we continue to celebrate our 30th year we are looking to expand not only in our Yorkshire Studio but also our North East Studio due to a number of recent and exciting commissions. NNA are a growing, dynamic and diverse architectural practice. We offer the security and comfort of a well-established practice spanning generations, with a freshness of approach and exciting future plans. We provide services to both domestic and commercial clients – with studios in the North E

What a fabulous day to be on site to see the fantastic progress being made on this site located on the west coast of Scotland. The existing house benefited from an amazing position overlooking the Kilbrannan Sound with the beautiful Isle of Arran providing a dramatic backdrop. The house itself, however, was a typical late twentieth century, standard, dormer bungalow that failed to capitalise on its terrific setting. The redevelopment scheme strives to create high quality spac

Such a great site visit with Minster Care Management Limited, to see the 46-bed care home at Freeland House, Oxfordshire nearing Practical Completion. Built in the ground of the existing care home (which is to be retained), the new wing is to provide additional facilities including full time accommodation, day spaces and activity rooms to accommodate modern ‘round the clock care’ for their residents. #architecture #architect #architects #buildings #bestarchitecture #construc

We are so thrilled to show you all the recently completed 13.5m2 home office micro-project in Gosforth with its beautifully exposed Douglas Fir roof structure. The diminishing pitched roof form and reclaimed brick exterior relate to the alleyway context of gabled rear offshoots and yard walls. Doesn’t it look excellent, thanks @Jilltatephoto for the amazing photos! We get involved with a huge range of projects, from multi-million pound commercial schemes to unique domestic pr

Great to see the groundworks progressing well at Berrymoor Court. Foundations now installed for the office development at Northumberland Business Park, Cramlington. 4 offices will be created, arranged in two blocks offering high specification accommodation. #architecture #architect #architects #buildings #bestarchitecture #construction #instaarchitecture #architectural #architecturevibes #newoffices #sitevisit #northumberland #northeast #newbuild

Our private residential site at Nedderton is well underway, with two house types across six units at varying stages of build. Whilst different in form, the house types are consistent in their design approach and use of high quality materials, responding to the local character and vernacular of the surrounding area. Further updates to follow… #architecture #architect #architects #buildings #bestarchitecture #construction #instaarchitecture #architectural #architecturevibes #ne

Fantastic progress is being made at Harlow Hill Farm in Northumberland, the derelict redundant farm buildings are being given a new lease of life by being transformed into 2, 3 and 4 bed residential dwellings. The scheme strives to create high quality dwellings which are modern and contemporary whilst complimenting the historic fabric of the building. Features include exposed timbers, arched openings and large open plan living which is achieved through creative layout designs

In this very strange time we find ourselves in, it is great to see our sites back up and running. Here are some progress shots of these fabulous high-end luxury holiday cottages set in the outskirts of Cumbria. We cannot wait to see the large expense of glazing go into the gable end, which will give amazing views out over the countryside. Watch this space! #instadesign #everythingarchitecture #architecturelife #architecturelovers #archigram #archviz #newbuild #newholidayhome

What a fabulous day to be in the Northumberland countryside looking at these new sites. Following strict government guidelines and all social distancing measures we are visiting our sites, new and existing to make sure our sites are running smoothly and to look at new opportunities. We are happy to meet clients over zoom if preferred so please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have a project we could assist with. Looking forward to what our creative team have in store for

It was great to see the progress at Hope House this morning. The building is being transformed into a dynamic, modern space to enhance and engage the local community. The space has been reorganized to provide different sized rooms and offices to provide for a variety of activities and services. We are really excited to see the project nearing completion and the difference the spaces will make to the Church and local community. #churchgoals #morethanabuilding #churcharchitectu

Nicholson Nairn Architects are currently working across a broad range of sectors and in turn a wide range of buildings, from new builds to Listed buildings of historic interest. Each building type requires a wide range of skills which NNA are committed to enhance and tailor to each client and project. To achieve this, two of their architects have recently got involved in the RIBA – Conservation Courses. Philippa Ramsay, an architect who has interests in bringing historic buil
