At NFA Architects, our approach is rooted in collaboration, creativity, and care. Led by Design Director Nick Farnell, the practice brings decades of cross-sector experience and a passion for delivering elegant, often complex architectural solutions tailored to each unique challenge. Whether working on residential or commercial projects, our focus remains constant: to create inspiring architecture that aligns with our clients’ vision, context, and goals.

A Collaborative, Client-Focused Approach - We believe that successful architecture begins with listening. At the outset, we take the time to truly understand our clients—their aspirations, needs, and the nuances of the site. From there, we craft imaginative and bespoke solutions that evolve through an open, collaborative process. Our clients are involved at every stage, from concept through to completion, ensuring they feel informed, empowered, and delighted with the end result.

Bespoke Residential Design - When working with homeowners, we offer a completely tailored design process. Every project is unique, shaped by individual lifestyles, aspirations, and surroundings. We guide clients through every stage, from the initial brief through design development, planning, and delivery—ensuring a home that is not only beautiful and functional but truly personal.

Expertise in Planning and Delivery - Our deep understanding of the planning process, combined with our ability to coordinate design teams and consultants, means we can deliver high-quality, context-sensitive architecture that adds value for both clients and communities. We pride ourselves on designing responsive, responsible buildings that perform well and respect their environment.

Our experienced team includes senior architects, designers, and technologists who are passionate about design and committed to delivering site-sensitive, client-focused architecture.
