At Crosby Granger Architects, we do what we love and we love what we do. We believe in the power of sensitive, sustainable architecture and its long term impact on people and places. We all have our part to play in making the world a better place to live and thrive in. As architects, that responsibility is something we take seriously.
Founders Chris & Chloe have over 40 years’ experience of tackling complex briefs. From conservation work on listed buildings, to pioneering modern architecture and master-planning. Our clients choose us because we know our stuff. And we love nothing more than being on site, getting our hands dirty to make even the tiniest of details shine.
Our architectural practice is based at the top of Kendal’s Fellside Centre. This 170-year-old historically important building was in need of some care when we bought it in 2018. It fits our belief that old buildings can find new purposes and those sustain them. Activist Theodora Wilson, a founding member of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, ensured children were fed and schooled here. Our works at the Fellside Centre were rewarded with a Commendation by the Civic Trust in 2024.
Our team includes heritage conservation experts; professionals who have become true leaders in their field. Their skills are applied to all our heritage projects, giving important buildings a chance to flourish. In some cases, relearning and reviving past techniques.
Other architects come to us for expert technical advice on tricky and sensitive projects. They rely on us to guide them towards the most appropriate and durable solution.
When it comes to the contemporary, we don’t shy away from innovative design. Whilst fearlessly embracing the modern, we ensure all new buildings are sympathetic to their surroundings – timeless, durable and built for long-term delight.
You will also find that we put our heart and soul into nurturing our relationship with you. We give every client the same friendly, responsive and individual attention, no matter the size of the project. Professional but never stuffy. Confident in our approach but never arrogant. It’s a strength built on using dialogue with honesty and diplomacy to reach understanding quickly.
We’ve been taught by the best. We relish challenges. And we pride ourselves on delivering down to the very last detail. It’s an ethos that binds our whole team and serves us well. We learn together, from each other, our projects and our decisions – and that generates new ideas, fresh perspectives and innovation.
