DLG Architects

At DLG Architects, we are an award-winning architectural practice with studios in London and Leeds, dedicated to creating lasting, considered, and sustainable places across the UK and internationally. Since 1972, we have been driven by a passion for design, a commitment to excellence, and a genuine enjoyment for what we do. Our team of experts works collaboratively across sectors and at all project scales, bringing experience, enthusiasm, and innovation to every project.

Our Services

We believe our role as architects goes beyond just designing beautiful spaces. We offer a truly rounded service, acknowledging that good architecture fuses design with commercial insight, strategic thinking, and excellence in delivery. Our services include:

Architecture

We work confidently across all RIBA stages, designing and delivering award-winning and community-supporting buildings and neighbourhoods. We design for things to be built, quickly turning around feasibility proposals to assess the viability of a site, and developing planning strategies to maximise collaborative approaches and success. We work with new build and retrofit, across a range of project sectors, enjoying the challenges and opportunities each context offers.

Building Consultancy

Our building consultancy services provide expert advice and guidance throughout the project lifecycle. We work closely with clients to understand their needs, develop solutions that meet their objectives, and ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards.

Heritage & Conservation

We provide solutions that respect the past and are responsive to future needs. With extensive experience in heritage contexts, we work collaboratively with clients, stakeholders, and regulatory bodies to deliver projects that preserve and enhance our cultural heritage.

Our Process

Our design process is underpinned by an appreciation and understanding of our responsibilities as designers, and the complexities of construction. We are passionate advocates of dynamic briefing, looking at every stage for opportunities to enhance and add value that may not have been considered. We test a site's capacity and uncover opportunities to unlock potential, revealing different solutions for the same problem.

Investing in Our People

We invest in our capacity to visualize and communicate our ideas, using the latest technology, including Building Information Modelling (BIM) software, and rendering software to produce high-quality visuals and virtual reality experiences. We also continually invest in our people, offering in-house expertise in heritage and building conservation, low-carbon and Passivhaus design, and certified Fitwel & WELL Building principles.
