about

nick shipp architects is an architectural practice formed in Fulham in 1991 and moved to Bath where we have worked from converted cow byres at Haugh Farm since 2002. In 2012 the practice relocated to the current offices at Pitt House, 20 Crescent Lane behind the Royal Crescent in Bath.

we have remained a small group of designers with a passion for what we do. Our work is defined by a consistency of design principles that connect context for environment and place, rather than adhering to a particular architectural form or style. We celebrate the freedom for bespoke and contextually good solutions that play a key part in our designs.

The Practice’s Aims

The aim of the practice is to introduce Clients into an environment in which they feel comfortable to contemplate and explore the potential of any given brief for a building.

This process affords circumstances within which pre-conceived ideas and ideals can be reorganised, transcending both their ambition and aspirations of the initial idea.

This journey aims at realising a tangible product of distinct architectural merit that provides immense pleasure to all those who come into contact with it.
