Northlight Architects (sample) works from a former foundry office on Foundry Yard, Springfield. Six people, about twelve projects at a time.
Kate Lindqvist and Marcus Price started the studio in 2011 with one kitchen extension and a borrowed desk (sample). Most of our clients still come from people we have built for.
We keep the studio small on purpose: the architect who walks your site with you draws your project, takes it through planning and visits the builder every week or two.
The initials next to each name are the ones in the Drawn and Checked boxes of every drawing we issue.
