Self Architects

Who We Are

Self Architects is a respected architectural practice with a rich history spanning over 40 years. Our journey began when we first opened our doors, providing architectural, interior design, and masterplanning services to a diverse range of clients across the UK and beyond. Over the years, we have strategically expanded our capabilities by incorporating other practices into our fold. This approach has enabled us to offer a broader spectrum of services and expertise to our clients.

Our success is built upon a simple yet effective philosophy: we listen carefully to our clients' needs, collaborate in formulating a detailed brief, and then create innovative, attractive design solutions. We have invested significantly in cutting-edge technology, including BIM and Revit, to deliver complex, collaborative designs to the highest standards.

Our Communities

In addition to commercial projects, we also participate in pro bono initiatives that benefit local communities. One such initiative is our work on the Temple Park Centre in Sheffield, which secured planning approval in August 2019. This community hub was developed to support local families and groups, providing essential services and resources. By engaging in such projects, we demonstrate our commitment to giving back to the community that has supported us throughout our history.
