Stead & Co.

Stead & Co. An RIBA Chartered Architectural Practice specialising in residential, commercial and education proje Stead & Co. In particular, we specialise in existing spaces.

are a RIBA Chartered Architectural Practice based in Otley, West Yorkshire. We provide a full architectural and design service for a range of clients. We have been fortunate to have worked on a variety of really interesting projects, ranging from city-wide lighting installations, new build churches, listed Medieval halls to residential refurbishments and school extensions. There is nothing more ex

citing than giving an existing building, whether historic, mid-century or relatively new, a new lease of life. All buildings have some sort of history, not just in terms of itself, but how it fits into the wider community and streetscape. Whether finding new uses or extending it’s life, working with existing properties is both challenging and incredibly rewarding. So how do we do this? Well, we ask questions. An awful lot of questions. It helps us get to know you, your priorities, your passions and really get to the crux of what you need. In our experience, the solution to the problem in hand is not always the one that we all assumed was the right one at the start. Essentially, in our view, architecture is about solving problems. Whether it is the desire to have all the family round the table for Christmas dinner, the need to improve employee retention by rethinking a workplace design or the necessity for a secure entrance to a school, Stead & Co. are able to work with you to create an interesting solution that solves your problem.

A bit late, we know, but a warm welcome to our new Part I Architectural Assistant! Meet Panashe, a recent graduate of Manchester School of Architecture, a selfcare enthusiast (she's looking after us in the office!) and of course very architecturally curious.

Head over to our brand-new Instagram page to catch up with all the things the office has been up to since Panashe joined in September.
