Architecture at a Human Scale


“As a Chartered Architect, I’m committed to the design of beautiful, functional and innovative spaces; I strive to exceed our clients’ expectations.”

We recognise that the buildings and spaces that we create, affect the health and wellbeing of the people that use them.

As architects, we believe that actively listening and asking expansive questions are two of the most important factors in achieving a result that meets the end-users’ true needs.

“DesignXY is built on the belief that good architecture puts the needs of people at the core of the design process.”

DesignXY was founded with the aim of consolidating decades of experience within the architectural community, in Sheffield and other cities.

We communicate effectively, combining our expertise and leading design technologies, to achieve a high quality built environment in a variety of construction sectors.
