Overview
Gordon Smith and Chris Smalley formed Smith Smalley Architects in 1991. Over two decades the practice has continually evolved to meet the needs of a dynamic and rapidly transforming industry. Today, from our offices in Harrogate, we serve clients throughout the UK and have broad experience in the design and construction of schemes across a range of sectors.
In recent years the practice has undertaken projects for many building types including Retail, Leisure, Commercial, Healthcare, Tertiary Education, Industrial and Residential. Our experience also includes Master Planning and Landscape Design, including river restoration and enhancement.
Each project is assigned a team comprising people with the most appropriate skills and expertise. This ensures that individual experience is maximised, local knowledge is incorporated and innovation is generated. It also furthers our goal of producing built environments that improve quality of life. In our book, good design should be stimulating, welcoming and give a sense of well being. It should use resources effectively, create spaces imaginatively, and facilitate the required function while being aesthetically pleasing, respectful of context and providing value for money in both capital and life cycle costs.
