Empowering Partnerships. Delivering Excellence.
At POW Architects, we are an established studio specialising in the detailed design and construction of great buildings for established housing developers, niche developers, and one-off clients. With over a decade of experience, we have developed a unique approach to architectural design, combining a wide-angle view of the project spectrum with up-close attention to detail.
Our Story
Founded in 2009, POW Architects has established itself as a reputable studio, with a strong track record of delivering successful projects for our clients. Our team is made up of talented architects, designers, and project managers who share a passion for creating innovative, sustainable, and functional buildings. Our studio is a place where intelligence and experience are traded, where learning is fostered, and where innovation is encouraged.
Our Services
At POW Architects, we specialise in providing detailed working drawings for procurement and construction to large housing developers, small house builders, and boutique construction companies. Our services include:
- Design Teams: We lead your design team to help produce their packages, ensuring that Civil and Structural engineers, Landscape designers, and Utilities providers are all considered for the site layouts.
- Stressed Technical Managers: Our experienced team will put together a solid pack of working drawings, that can be used to price the works, build the works, and for any third-party sign-off from your partners.
- Supply Chain: We work together with your supply chain to ensure that their designs are fully co-ordinated and are ready to go when the site calls them off.
- Warranty Providers: We work with your warranty providers to ensure that all details are approved, the layouts work effectively, and when it comes to CML, there are no nasty last-minute surprises.

Disappointing Experience
The reviewer, Tim T., was not satisfied with the results they received from the company's plans. Specifically, they mentioned that the opening in their left extension is small and could have been larger to let in more light and create a more open space. Instead, the reviewer felt that the opening is awkwardly sized.
Lack of Personal Service
The reviewer also expressed disappointment with the company's team, describing them as unpersonable and arrogant. Tim felt that the team had a condescending attitude towards clients, prioritizing their own design philosophies over the clients' needs. This created a sense that the company was more focused on achieving their own vision rather than working collaboratively with clients to produce a desired outcome.
