Our approach and philosophy
Our mission is to raise the standards of design and conservation to international standards. We maintain a strong inter-disciplinary team of 15–20 specialist staff with a wealth of world class training, practical experience and knowledge of the construction and design industries. Many of our staff have trained overseas and have specialised knowledge within their field. At Salmond Reed Architects we establish excellent working relationships with our clients, fellow consultants and peers and strive to disseminate our expertise through the work we do and through educating others. We are committed to understanding our clients’ needs and to achieving results which go beyond their expectation.
Salmond Reed Architects really listened to what we wanted to achieve and knew how to combine that with the original architecture. You could have faith that they would do what was right for the house and the era.
