Inception-to-completion architectural services

We offer a full architectural, implementation and project management service from initial site appraisals to post construction close out and evaluation. We are flexible about the services we offer; from a traditional full service to work-stage specific commissions or specialist advice.
With 30 years of experience and expert locally based staff in six countries we have the depth of knowledge required to deliver projects of all sizes, locations and types. Our role usually falls into these broad categories: feasibility, pre-construction, construction, post construction.

Markets

Whilst we have extensive experience across Europe, there may be situations where law and practice demand that a locally registered architect support our statutory applications or advise on specific county practices. We classify the level of support needed as follows:
Primary markets – Fully supported by Hyphen offices.
Secondary markets – Limited local partner support required for statutory applications.
Tertiary markets – More extensive local partner support required for statutory applications, translation and advice on local practice.

About us

At Hyphen, we share a common ethos combining the high professional standards and global reach of a large architectural practice with the personalised service and collaborative approach of a local firm.
