About Nexus ArchitectureBirmingham / Projects across the UK
Nexus Architecture.
From idea to detail.
We are an architectural design practice helping homeowners, developers, businesses and community organisations turn their ideas into considered spaces.
Our work ranges from house extensions and loft conversions to new homes, apartment developments, restaurants and commercial spaces. We bring creative design, planning and technical thinking together, with a practical understanding of how buildings are used.
From the first conversation, we help you define the brief and develop the design around your site, priorities and budget. Measured surveys, concept options, visualisations and detailed drawings can form part of a service tailored to your project.

02 / The practiceA personal approach to every project
Good design
starts with
listening.
Your ambitions. Your place.
A considered response.
Every project begins with your brief: what you want to achieve, how the space will be used, your budget and your timescale. We work with you to explore the possibilities and make the design decisions clear.
Layout, daylight, materials and the relationship to neighbouring buildings all inform our approach. Plans, sections and 3D visualisations help you understand how a proposal will look and work as it develops.
Our portfolio spans private homes, housing developments, restaurants, commercial premises and community buildings, with projects in Birmingham, Solihull, Coventry, Manchester, Reading and London.
We agree the services, fees and deliverables before work begins. Depending on your appointment, we can support the project through planning, technical design, contractor quotations and the stages on site.

Our service can include concept layouts, planning drawings and building regulations information.
