With the vast amount of project types that exist across the world, it is important for an architectural establishment to have the right team. Over the years we have built our own team of excellent architects, ensuring they are able to work on any project of any size and produce results of the highest calibre. We may be based in London, but we have undertaken work for clients abroad and have always come through for them.

For everyone who is looking at a career in architecture, it is important for you to know the facts about our industry. Architects are employed in the construction sector, designing new buildings and the spaces which surround them. We also assist in restoring and conserving old buildings, in addition to finding ways of making existing buildings work more efficiently.

As an architect, you must have excellent attention to detail and a strong visual awareness to ensure that every specification is met. You also need to have a wide imagination and an inventive mind, as one plan may not be adequate and so you would need to adapt. It is important you are able to bring your own ideas as well as those of your clients to life.

To become qualified, it’s mandatory to obtain a degree at a school of architecture and to practice the title ‘architect’, you must register with the Architects Registration Board. This involves seven years of higher education or training. For those looking at office-based roles, The Royal Institute of British Architects can provide an alternative training route.

At Coffey Architects we take great pride in the fact that our clients have consistently ranked our work as some of the best they have ever seen. Having worked in a variety of sectors, including the residential and commercial, we are comfortable in taking on any job that needs doing. Should you need architectural services, our company should be at the top of your list.
