The new build projects we work on seek to respond to their immediate environment. We work hard to achieve the best out of the site and the client’s brief. We often use local materials in a modern way, with a focus on high levels of finish.
We specialise in working within highly sensitive locations such as National Parks and Conservation Areas.
Our team members practicing in the contemporary design field have extensive experience in a range of sectors, delivering high end sports facilities, student and classroom accommodation, as well as bespoke new houses for private clients.
The construction industry is realigning itself with the choices it makes around sustainability. As we design out products and materials which are sourced from cementitious and petro-chemicals, we are increasingly using natural products which are both sustainable and or recycled-as well as safer for the installer and end user.
We seek out solutions which are breathable’. These are products which can contribute to an enhanced internal environment, while simultaneously reducing carbon emissions.
We’re at the forefront of developing techniques and thinking when it comes to building conservation and sustainable new-builds.
We use our in-depth understanding of traditional building techniques. Our designs seek to utilise products, materials and design led solutions which are borne out of our work in historic buildings.
We understand and research new ways of doing things. Through our interest in sustainability, we are always looking out for ingenious ways in new design and development, often against the odds.
“It’s a delight to hear an architect who not only really believes in what he is saying and describing, but then actually puts it into action as well; and it was quite obvious that this belief and desire was coming from you, not just because your client has asked you to do something and you were trying to ‘sell it’. I’m always very appreciative of those who carry through the strength of their convictions, whatever they are – not just in the planning process”
Lake District National Park Authority.

Sheffield City Council has appointed Crosby Granger Architects to join the wider design team for the Castle Site, a key part of the city’s historic centre.
Crosby Granger Architects will produce a suite of heritage documents to support the eventual discharge of planning conditions and a new Listed Building Consent (LBC) application. The historic Castle Site, originally the heart of Sheffield and home to Sheffield Castle (demolished in 1648–49), was later built over as the town expanded. In the 20th century, the area became the site of the Castle Markets, which have since been demolished. Once a thriving commercial hub, the Castle Site has lost its identity and purpose.
This project aims to re-establish the Castle Site as a pivotal part of the city centre. Plans include partially de-culverting the River Sheaf, creating green spaces and public realms, and preparing the land for future development. Temporary or ‘meanwhile uses’ will activate plots and promote healthy lifestyles.

At Lake Head, Wastwater, we designed a contemporary yet sensitive toilet facility for visitors accessing Scafell Pike. Built with sustainable materials, the structure seamlessly integrates with its natural surroundings while providing essential amenities. This project reflects our commitment to thoughtful, environmentally responsible architecture in sensitive landscapes.
Crosby Granger Architects designed a contemporary new-build home at Water End, seamlessly integrating modern architecture within a sensitive rural setting. Using high-quality materials and a carefully considered design, the house responds to its natural surroundings while maintaining a strong architectural presence. This project showcases our expertise in delivering bold, contemporary designs within historically and environmentally significant contexts.
