We begin every project with careful analysis of site context, planning constraints and commercial viability. Early feasibility studies, massing options and concept proposals allow ideas to be tested and refined before design progresses - supporting clear, informed decision-making from the outset.
We manage the planning process from early advice through to full submissions. Our designs balance creativity with technical rigour, ensuring proposals are policy-aligned, well-presented and responsive to planning, heritage and sustainability requirements.
We develop designs to detailed, build-ready stage, producing coordinated technical information suitable for tender and construction. Our experience includes high-rise, healthcare, care, hotel, industrial, mixed use, commercial, build to rent, co-living, schools, data centres, bars, restaurants, interiors, housing, refurbishment, low-carbon design strategies and modern methods of construction, delivered in close collaboration with consultants and specialist contractors.
We support clients through the tender process by issuing information to contractors, reviewing returns and advising on cost, buildability and programme. Our role is to safeguard design intent while helping select an appropriate procurement route aligned with project and budget objectives.
We remain closely involved during construction, providing technical support, site inspections and design coordination as required. Working collaboratively with the project team, we help resolve issues efficiently and ensure the architectural quality is carried through to completion.
Interior design is developed as an integral part of the architecture. Materiality, lighting, spatial quality, environmental performance and user experience are considered as part of a cohesive design narrative across residential, commercial and hospitality projects.
As Principal Designer under the CDM Regulations, Trifecta Architects leads the coordination of health and safety during the pre-construction phase, ensuring risks are identified, designed out where possible, and clearly communicated to the wider project team. We manage statutory CDM responsibilities, review design decisions from a safety perspective, and prepare the necessary pre-construction information while supporting clients in meeting their legal obligations. Our approach integrates practical risk management with project design, helping ensure safer construction, operation and maintenance without compromising creativity or architectural integrity.
Our planning consultancy service turns complexity into opportunity. We provide clear, strategic planning advice from the earliest feasibility stage, unlocking site potential while managing risk, policy constraints, and programme certainty. By understanding both planning strategy and architectural design, we shape proposals that are not only policy-compliant but compelling, commercially viable, and deliverable.
We lead planning applications end-to-end — from pre-application strategy and authority engagement through to submission, negotiation, and approval. Our team prepares robust supporting statements, coordinates consultants, and proactively addresses planning challenges to keep projects moving forward. The result is a seamless, design-led planning process that maximises the chance of consent and allows our clients to progress with confidence.
