GSH Architects was established in 2013.

We are a dedicated team, who together strive to deliver well-designed, innovative projects within the built environment.

As a team we are motivated by client satisfaction, we take pride in every project we undertake and look for opportunities to push ourselves within the industry.

The team’s expertise is vast, and diverse. As a practice our profession ranges from architects, technicians, designers and (retired) contractors. The teams skills combine to provide real life solutions with an architectural flare, it is a whole design solution and one that the contractors we work with trust when they embark on a project.

As a practice we are down to earth and honest individuals who understand the trust that you place upon us. We aim to take the stress out of the process and will guide you through from the first meeting through the design and detailing, construction and finally, completion.

Our ethos is simple, we like happy clients….
