Architecture has its origins when humans first started working with natural materials such as stone and timber and even ice to create their own dwellings. Each material is relevant to its surroundings and as such a good architect will take this into account.
A Hough Architecture project will not only run smoothly and on time; it will also be aesthetically pleasing, marketable and provide a building or part of a building that will be used for many years to come.
Hough Architecture have found that each project is completely unique and as such we offer the full range of products and services.
From initial consultation to design, residential development design, industrial design and site appraisals, Hough Architecture can also offer Master Planning and help with Local Authority Applications.
Depending on your project, we can help with Brief Development, Detailed Design, and Planning Permission.
One of the most common questions we’re asked is how much does it cost?
As with any project, there are various factors to keep in mind, such as size of dwelling, budget, quality of materials and more.

ABOUT
HOUGH ARCHITECTURE
Hough Architecture was founded in 2015 by James Hough.
With a RIBA Chartered Practice, Hough Architecture have worked alongside numerous projects in England’s North West. Accolades include Best of Houzz awards, the most recent being in 2019.
Working with Hough Architecture means that you can be assured of the best service around.
We used Hough Architecture to plan and help project manage our build. James’ advice and expertise were invaluable to us and helped us overcome one or two small challenges that were encountered during the project. He presented a couple of designs for us, fully considering our budget and requirements all the way through the process and the end result is fantastic.
