Award-nominated architecture shaped by sustainability and innovation

We create thoughtful new-build and retrofit architecture that balances sustainability, innovation and lasting design quality across residential, commercial and community projects.

Whatever you're building, we are here to help you take the first step

Redhead Architects is a 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 to seek the potential for joy in every scheme.

Over the years, we feel lucky to have shared fantastic experiences working with amazing people on a vast array of residential, commercial, education, conservation and master-planning projects both in the UK and Bermuda for several great practices. Redhead Architects is the culmination of these experiences.

How can we help?

We start by listening to understand how we can best support your project. We will write to you with a proposal which clearly explains our approach and suggested next steps.
We’d like to collaborate with you as much as possible, so we use sketches and diagrams to clearly explain our ideas and approach. Sketches are quick, clear and easy to understand and we use them a lot!
As design ideas develop, we will model our proposals in 3D, then invite you to put on a headset to experience your new design.
We can send a link to an interactive model that works on your phone, allowing you to walk through your design and stay fully involved throughout the process. Visit our 360° page for a preview of the experience.
Every project has it’s challenges, whether it’s a remote location or terrible weather, but a good set of drawings and well motivated team will always lead to a more successful building project.
We have on-site experience in helping to manage a team through many of the challenges a build can face.

Clear Communication

We start by listening to understand how we can best support your project. We will write to you with a proposal which clearly explains our approach and suggested next steps.
All the way through the project, our priority is to ensure that you remain informed and comfortable with each stage of the process.
Sketch design

We’d like to collaborate with you as much as possible, so we use sketches and diagrams to clearly explain our ideas and approach. Sketches are quick, clear and easy to understand and we use them a lot!
Fully Coordinated

Due to everything being produced from one source, we can achieve a far higher standard of drawing coordination. Collaboration with the consultant team is made far easier than ‘traditional’ drawing methods. We have been using this approach for the last 15 years.
Virtual Reality

We will commission a survey and make a 3D model of your existing building. We will add the surrounding landscape trees and buildings. As design ideas develop, we will model our proposals in 3D, then invite you to put on a headset to experience your new design.
We can send you a link to your model which works on your phone and allows you to ‘walk through’ your design helping you to be at the heart of the design process the whole time.
Technical Information

Following our design meeting, you have time to comment and make changes this ensures that you fully understand and hopefully love the design, before anyone puts a spade in the ground.
We can produce technical drawings from the same model.
On site delivery

Every project has it’s challenges, whether it’s a remote location or terrible weather, but a good set of drawings and well motivated team will always lead to a more successful building project.
We have on-site experience in helping to manage a team through many of the challenges a build can face.
