About Us
Welcome to Peak Architects, an agile and experienced practice with expertise in residential and commercial architecture.
We are an award-winning RIBA Chartered architectural practice with offices in Sheffield and the Hope Valley, with an established reputation of delivering inspiring designs and homes.
Our growing team excels at always working collaboratively with our clients from the outset to deliver the best outcome. We are focused on guiding our clients through different phases of the design, planning and construction stages to handover.
Our strong, value driven approach sees Peak Architects trusted by our clients because we will always go out of our way to understand their needs and expectations.
Heritage and Conservation
Central to our approach is the conservation, protection and sensitive conversion of historic buildings to preserve their character and fabric. We have a series of principles that we advocate, these being:
• Use of traditional materials and construction techniques where possible which preserve and enhance the building’s local context;
• Sensitive integration of sustainable construction methods and technology;
• Placing new elements and facilities as free standing ‘sculptural elements’ within the spaces;
• Where possible, off-site manufacturing is promoted to lessen works on site to reduce the programme, impact on the site and improve build quality;
• In developing and implementing any heritage project, early stakeholder engagement is essential in ensuring an agreement on the approach, layout and methodology.
Sustainability
Sustainability is a fundamental aspect of all buildings and we believe it should be embraced as an opportunity to add value, promote innovation and enhance the environment within which we live. It requires a holistic approach and it is crucial that it should be bedded into a building at the outset.
Above all, sustainability must be a practical attribute, neither bolted on as a series of clever accessories, nor so overburdening or complex that it makes living in the building impractical.
Peak Architects have an extensive working knowledge of refurbishment of buildings utilising ‘Enerphit’ principles and ‘Passivhaus’ design when applied to new build projects.
Peak Park
Peak Architects have considerable experience and a good working relationship with Peak District National Park Planning Authority. The key to our approach is to engage early with the Planning Authority and, where buildings are listed, with Historic England.
This approach has allowed us to maintain a high planning success rate in providing innovative design solutions that utilise locally derived materials and reinforce the character of the National Park, whilst being bespoke to each client.
We have an extensive network of consultants and contractors who work locally and nationally and can, as necessary, assist in providing a comprehensive design service for new build, retrofits or conversions in the Peak District National Park.
Every client is different, every project is unique!

Peak Architects Track Record
We have selected our core team on the basis of the skills and experience they will bring to the team and the benefits this experience will provide, including:
Masterplanning:
• We develop masterplans to incorporate urban design and planning principles, financial development planning (understanding accommodation mix and tenure/deliverability vs cashflow and site sequencing and logistics). This ensures the project objectives remain at the forefront of everything we do.
• A focus on adding value through design without compromising on quality
• Increased certainty in terms of early understanding of risk and cost; specifically we would propose incorporating quantity surveyors, planning consultants and commercial agents as a minimum.
• Investigating site deliverability strategies in terms of logistics, phasing and buildability.
Residential Track Record:
75% of our work is in the senior living, commercial, retail and housing sector. This gives a range of skills across the selected core team. These could include:

• Up to date knowledge of design standards and best practice; this has been developed working closely with the capital delivery and housing teams at Sheffield and Derbyshire County Council; as well as with our framework partners at Equans, One Heritage and Keepmoat.
• Portfolio of high-quality affordable designs to meet client/customer briefs.
Adding Value
Our core skills are exceptional in their relevance to this proposal. For example, Paul Holden’s master planning portfolio allows him to influence housing design from a truly holistic perspective, optimising land and asset values and applying practical solutions to future proofing developments.
