Welcome to archihive
Your Local Architectural Design Team
about archihive
We are an architectural design and interiors studio based near Lancaster, working locally and regionally across Lancashire, Cumbria, the North West and across the North of England, with experience working in the beautiful and sensitive environments of the Lake District and North Yorkshire Dales National Parks.
We pride ourselves on offering ‘more’ to our clients and their projects. With our knowledge and skills in Architecture and a passion for Interiors, we enjoy exploring design options both inside and out, working closely with you, to ensure you get the best possible outcome for your project.
We advocate great architectural design should be available to everyone, no matter the size or scale of their project; thoughtful, beautiful and considered design can not only achieve your spatial requirements, but also offer additional benefits and value in how your space is used, lit, accessed and enjoyed.
We aim to make the process simple and enjoyable, allowing you to feel confident your project is in our capable hands, cost considered and well designed to fulfill its best architectural potential and your expectations.
If you're considering extending, renovating or refurbishing your existing home or property, would like to develop a new build, or are looking for a fresh approach to building design, we believe considered design, competent project planning and an ambition to exceed expectations, leads to a positive process and exciting results.

our approach
Our approach to our architectural services is client central, professional and holistic. We promote the integration of architecture, interiors, space, light and materials as part of the design process from concept through to completion. We design bespoke solutions, creating spaces, extensions and buildings, tailored to your brief.
We aim to simplify and guide you through the process of turning your dream project into a reality, making your design journey truly enjoyable.
We aim to ensure your brief and the design vision are carried through every aspect of the project, from inception to completion, seen in all layers of the design detail and supported by our strong technical knowledge and rigorous detailing. This holistic approach is central to archihive's philosphy.
