Who we are

Nottingham Architects Specialising in Thoughtful, Local Design

NG Architects is a Nottingham-based architecture studio specialising in residential design across the East Midlands. We are passionate about creating homes and spaces that are functional, timeless, and deeply connected to their surroundings.

Our mission is simple: to deliver thoughtful architecture that adds value—not just to property, but to the lives of the people who use it. Whether it's a family home, a green belt development, or a property investment project, we design with care, clarity, and purpose.

What we do

Local Architects with Regional Expertise

With deep roots in Nottinghamshire, our team has extensive experience working with local councils, planning officers, and building control departments. From West Bridgford and Southwell to Newark, Bingham, and beyond, we understand the local planning landscape and know how to design buildings that blend with their context while standing out for their quality.

We’re proud to combine design ambition with practical know-how, helping clients navigate complex planning requirements and unlock the full potential of their property.

  • Beautiful, functional additions that transform your home.
    We design side, rear, and wrap-around extensions that blend with your property and enhance how you live. Every extension is carefully tailored to flow seamlessly with your existing space while maximising light, comfort, and value.

  • Get more from the space you already have.
    From open-plan living areas to extra bedrooms, we reconfigure layouts to eliminate wasted space and create homes that work harder—without always needing to extend.

  • From empty plot to fully bespoke home.
    Whether it's a private self-build, a developer-led scheme, or a garden plot opportunity, we guide you through the design, planning, and build process for homes that feel right and function beautifully.

  • Strategic design for complex sites.
    We specialise in green belt, conservation areas, and countryside planning. Through smart justification, local knowledge, and early engagement with planning officers, we improve your chance of approval and reduce delays.

  • Exceptional architecture in open countryside.
    We work with landowners and self-builders to design high-quality homes that meet the rigorous Paragraph 80 criteria. Our approach blends bold design thinking with sensitivity to the surrounding landscape.

  • Homes designed for comfort, longevity, and efficiency.
    We integrate passive design principles, low-carbon materials, and energy-saving strategies to ensure every home we design is future-proof, environmentally responsible, and cost-effective to run.

  • Adding value through smart design and planning strategy.
    We support investors and developers with feasibility studies, layout optimisation, and planning applications to help you maximise ROI and deliver high-performing residential assets.

How we do it

Our Approach at NG Architects

At NG Architects, our approach is rooted in clarity, creativity, and collaboration. We believe great architecture starts with truly understanding the people it serves and the places it inhabits.

1. Listen First

Every project begins with a conversation. We take time to understand your needs, your lifestyle, and your long-term goals. Whether you're planning a home extension, a new build, or unlocking the potential of a property, we ask the right questions to shape the right solution.

2. Design with Purpose

We don’t just draw buildings — we design around people. Our team blends modern aesthetics with practical thinking, always considering how space, light, and flow enhance everyday life. Every detail matters, and every square metre is maximised.

3. Plan with Confidence

From planning applications to navigating complex regulations like Paragraph 80 or greenbelt constraints, we handle the technical side so you don’t have to. Our team has deep local knowledge and a proven track record across Nottinghamshire, including Southwell, Newark, Bingham, and West Bridgford.

4. Work Smarter

We work lean and efficiently, often reconfiguring existing layouts before adding unnecessary space — saving you time, stress, and budget. With trusted consultants and builders by our side, we keep the process smooth from start to finish.

5. Build Relationships

We’re more than architects — we’re your project partners. Many of our clients come back for second and third projects, or recommend us to others. That’s because we’re honest, reliable, and truly care about delivering lasting value.

Why we do it

Architecture with Meaning

At NG Architects, we believe architecture has the power to improve lives — not just through beautiful design, but by creating spaces that work for the people who live, work, and grow in them.

We do it because we care about the impact of our work. Whether it's helping a family unlock the full potential of their home, revitalising a property for investment, or designing something extraordinary in the countryside — we’re driven by the chance to make a real, lasting difference.

For us, it’s not just about buildings. It’s about legacy.
It’s about solving problems creatively.
It’s about making sure every project adds value — to our clients, to communities, and to the environment.

We do it because we love it.
And because we know great design doesn’t just look good — it feels right.
