About us:

Redhead Architects is an RIBA chartered practice, located in the heart of Norwich

We deliver new-build and retrofit projects, ranging from one-off homes, city apartments, hotels, commercial and heritage projects

We use sound design principles, combined with 3D modelling to seek the potential for joy in every scheme. (No matter how well-hidden)

Our office overlooks Norwich market, with big sash windows and lots of light 

We use the best kit we can to make sure everyone is comfortable. (E.g: Herman Miller ‘Mirra’ chairs, sit-stand desks, Anglepoise lamps, nice music and good coffee)

The latest Macs help us to work collaboratively using Archicad, Twinmotion, Adobe suite and others

We try to minimise pointless admin, through good organisation, a Monday morning meeting and regular design reviews

We offer flexible working hours too
