ABOUT ALTER ARCHITECTS

ALTER Architects are a practice based in the United Kingdom. From offices in Sussex and Cornwall, our team of architects is committed to producing a portfolio of exciting and responsive architecture that consistently exceeds expectations.

OUR APPROACH

We produce highly crafted and conceptually clear buildings with an urge to react to the surrounding physical environments we inhabit as human beings. As a practice, we look for progressive clients with an equal passion for design, architecture, and the environment. Aesthetics, innovation, and constant curiosity are what drives us to make our clients' ideas a reality. Our work is hallmarked by a deep connection to the landscapes we live in — from the hills of Sussex to the shores of Cornwall.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

Architecture exists in constant dialogue with the environment it inhabits. Whether reimagining a family home, designing a new building from the ground up, or rehabilitating a community space, our sense of place for every project starts with the existing elements. Our work honours the connection between building and place. We produce highly crafted and conceptually clear buildings as an urge to react to the surrounding physical environments we inhabit. We work with clients whose passion for design, architecture and the environment equals our own.

HOLISTIC DESIGN

Every project is an opportunity to draw synergy between person, place, and planet and to exceed the expectations of our clients. The quality of our work reflects our innate appreciation for craftsmanship and technique. ALTER prioritises sustainable, durable materials and we combine traditional techniques with contemporary methods to create legacy designs.

EXPERIENCE

We celebrate the co-existence of people, planet and place in all of our work. ALTER Architects have built a reputation for sensitive, innovative designs of outstanding quality. Our designs for domestic residences reflect this as strongly as our commercial projects. The places we reside, work and celebrate life in are capable of enriching lives, inspiring joy and binding communities. We imagine buildings and spaces that hold life within, creating memorable spaces that enrich lives for our clients, for the community, and for future generations.
