Lapworth Architects have been a top architecture practice in Bromsgrove for over 20 years, providing fantastic service and top-notch design to residential and commercial clients across the West Midlands and Worcestershire area.
Established by Mike and Alison Lapworth in 1989, the firm has grown in the two decades with award-winning architecture across a range of sectors, including residential, commercial, industrial and educational projects
Our success has been based on a service-first philosophy of accompanying our clients at every step of the process, from design to completion. Our experience in planning is also an important pillar of our work, and we bring this to all our projects.
In Bromsgrove our work has largely focussed on suburban and rural housing, with plenty of projects needing specialist green belt planning permission – one of our areas of expertise.
Projects like the award-winning Lickey Grange scheme of large detached family homes are our bread and butter and demonstrate our experience in handling budgets and client expectations, as well as working with stakeholders like Bromsgrove Borough Council.
In addition to these larger residential projects, we have also worked frequently on country listed buildings, such as at Hagley Hall.
Other projects in Bromsgrove and the West Midlands green belt include an enlargement for Catshill Baptist church, numerous extensions to homes along prestigious Mearse Lane and also in Aston Fields. Our experience on these projects shows in our excellent planning success rate and high-quality designs – giving you the architects’ service that you’re looking for: competent, honest and clear.
Lapworth Architects’ goal is to achieve the highest standards of excellence and sustainability in retail projects, new build houses and in residential development, and we’ve been recognised for our design excellence for a number of regional and national organisations.
For our work on the Lickey Grange development in Bromsgrove, we won the CABE ‘Building for Life’ Gold award for our design work, as well as the Green Tree Award. In addition, we’ve won in several categories of the Birmingham Post Housing Design Awards for both single houses and housing developments.
More recently we’ve featured in the Housebuilder Awards 2019 for our work on restoring and converting Haseley Manor in Warwickshire into beautifully appointed apartments, and we also appeared in the Sunday Times British Homes Awards 2019 for our Courtyard Gardens development of period-style gabled homes around a traditional garden quadrangle, with additional landscaping in the green belt.
With our speciality in green belt and residential architectures, our advantage is solid design work paired with competent planning abilities, giving you an assured combination or architecture and experience.
Whether you’re looking for a brand new open-plan kitchen-diner, to restore period architectural features, futureproof your current home, downsize in style or make the best return on investment you can, Lapworth Architects has the experience you need to make it happen.
Our experience in designing homes in the country, conservation areas and residential extensions gives us the edge over our competitors in Bromsgrove, as we have the reputation experience and skills to bring your project to life.
Lapworth Architects, a prominent architecture firm based in Birmingham, recently showcased their expertise by successfully revising plans for a substantial extension on a residential property steeped in history. The project, initially handled by Dilworth Design Ltd, faced a multitude of challenges, including heritage concerns and an uncooperative local council.
However, the unwavering dedication and strategic guidance of Lapworth Architects led to the project’s eventual approval and a stunning transformation. This article delves into the intricate details of this captivating project, exploring the hurdles faced by the team and the ingenious solutions employed by Lapworth Architects to ensure a resounding success.
Throughout the project, Lapworth Architects was grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with Nina Chana of Bromsgrove and Redditch Council. Her dedication to ensuring a positive outcome for the project was instrumental in its eventual success. Chana’s involvement exemplifies the importance of effective communication and cooperation between architects and local authorities in achieving the best possible results for clients.
