Commercial Ventures

RESIDENTIAL, WORKPLACE & RETAIL DEVELOPMENTS

Altering or making a new building is fundamentally a life-changing process, our design skills encourages a relationship of trust when making decisions. Designing architecture is about building on the best aspects of a site’s context, reinventing, or making new can offer a world of opportunity.

Alter Architects have worked with a wide range of distinctive organisations, companies, and brands on residential developments, workplaces and retail enterprises spanning architecture and interior design.  Balance is a design philosophy we adhere too when designing commercial projects — between productivity and efficient spatial use. We strive to transcend brand and business identity into architectural concepts and elements for future use. Together with business owners we deliver innovative small to medium scale commercial projects across the United Kingdom.

INNOVATIVE ENRICHED SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT

Our company and extended team have long standing relationships, we are compact but trusted to provide professional support across all commercial ventures. For the past decade, Alter has facilitated and delivered housing developments across the UK, ranging in scale from bespoke residences and extensions, through to multiple housing developments, large scale master plans for a range of private clients, as well as national house builders. Accompanying the housing sector Alter has an innovative flair for restaurant and hotel design — we aspire to understand the particular needs of a business, advising clients on how creative contribution can enhance and enrich spatial experience and brand.

ALTER projects begin with our years of experience. We are constantly evolving — ALTER doesn’t rely on innovations which have influenced the current architectural industry. Instead we remain curious, constantly questioning the current standards to innovate and influence future design ethics.

People shape the work we do. We offer a first-class architectural design consultancy experience with the aim of turning our client’s ideas into the perfect architectural vision.

Working with ALTER is an invitation to a journey. Our design approach invites playfulness into everyday activities. An experiential voyage through building and design becomes one full of light, delight, vision, materiality and ultimately, quality of life.
