N C Architecture

General information

NC Architecture has been borne out of over 35 years’ experience within the architectural profession.

Having qualified in 1980 from Manchester, Neil Collins, Director, has seen a plethora of trends come and go, as well as multiple recessions and having ridden the storms of each, sees the current practice at possibly its strongest.

A fully accredited member of the RIBA’s Chartered Practice, we have seen the multiple housing sites for land banking needed by the major house builders of the early 1980s, through the “Thatcherite” entrepreneurialism of the high-end user, owner occupier of Grade A Offices, Listed Buildings and birth of the “Super Home” of the early / mid 1990s to the Private Rental Sector and 5* Student accommodation of the early 21st Century. NC Architecture now seek to embrace BIM technology to support multi-million pound developments, primarily across the North of England, but also with projects in the Midlands and London.

The last recession of the early / mid noughties saw us come out the other side with no small thanks to Chris Oakes and his Huntsmere Development Company www.huntsmere.co.uk. Multiple “Super Homes” and “Mini Mansions” undertaken for them and their elite client base over a 12+ year period, has been a major contributing factor to the success of the Practice that it currently enjoys.

Senior Architects, Architects, Technicians, Interior Designers, CGI, visualisation all under the NC Architecture umbrella, sees the practice currently having over 100+ live projects ranging in Contract Value from £100k – £25m.
