Hoopers Architects

Welcome to Hoopers Architects, a long-established and experienced architectural practice with a rich history dating back to 1912. We are a RIBA Chartered Practice based in Ipswich, offering comprehensive design and project management services throughout all stages of the RIBA process.

Our Practice

At Hoopers Architects, we are a collection of skilled architects and designers who strive to balance craftsmanship with commercial enterprise. We have a broad repertoire of knowledge and skills, with a portfolio that spans across various sectors and scales, from residential to healthcare, education, sports stadia, workplace design, community spaces, and historic buildings.

Our Vision

Over the past three years, we have collaborated with PSYCH.RAUM to create finely tuned, integrated environments that revitalise critical social infrastructure. Our joint mission has been to design healthcare environments that are tuned to the mission while being warm, inviting, recovery-oriented, and concept-driven. Our vision is to humanise these vital institutions by striking a balance between familiarity and complexity in design, aiming to provide orientation, character, and welcoming atmospheres.

Our Services

At Hoopers Architects, we pride ourselves on our collaborative approach to design. We believe in the significance of cross-fertilisation of ideas, thinking, and knowledge between projects and teams. We offer expertise in coordinating concept-driven workshops, design streams, and consultations. Our team has extensive experience working in interdisciplinary teams, which has been central to achieving consensus-led design solutions with high social value.

We can launch Concept Boards, a web-based Visual Collaboration Workspace, as a tool to coordinate with key stakeholders. This format has been instrumental in achieving consensus-led design solutions with high social value, particularly in projects involving the NHS, ITFC, local community groups, public clients, and design specialists.
