What Sets Connor Ferris Architects Apart?
Tailored, Client-Centric Design
Every project is unique. Whether it is a home extension, a new build, or a commercial fit-out, we take the time to understand our clients’ needs and design solutions that enhance both function and aesthetics.
Expert Guidance Through the Planning Process
With planning regulations constantly evolving, securing approval can be complex. Our 95% approval rate reflects our expertise in navigating planning requirements efficiently and successfully.
Commercial & Retail Excellence
Businesses require spaces that are both inspiring and practical. With thousands of new businesses launching every month in the UK, we provide designs that help brands establish and grow their presence.
Sustainability and Future-Proofing
With buildings responsible for nearly 40% of global carbon emissions, sustainability is at the core of our work. We integrate energy-efficient materials, passive design strategies, and smart technology to minimize environmental impact while maximizing long-term value.
Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond design—Connor Ferris Architects actively invests in research and innovation. The practice is funding a PhD led by our R&D and CRM support, Gabriela Matei, which explores the intersection of innovative technologies (AI and immersive tech), and sustainable construction. This research focuses on how real-time project monitoring, AI-driven analytics, and immersive technologies can optimise material use, reduce waste, and improve decision-making in the built environment.
By combining cutting-edge research with practical architectural solutions, we ensure that every project is not only functional and beautiful but also aligned with the future of sustainable, intelligent design.
End-to-End Project Support
From feasibility studies to design development, planning applications, and project oversight, we provide seamless support, ensuring every detail is considered and executed to the highest standard.
Looking Ahead – Let’s Build Something Exceptional
As we celebrate this milestone, we look forward to continuing to create spaces that transform how people live and work. Whether you are considering a home extension, a commercial renovation, or a new development, we are here to help bring your vision to life.
