Designer ACB

Design ACB is an architectural practice formed in 2005 and led by three directors: David Ayre, Matthew Chamberlain and Dominic Gaunt. Between us we have a wealth of experience and a proven track record for delivering successful buildings ranging from small domestic extensions through to large-scale student housing in urban environments.



Communication & Understanding: We bring added value to all projects through fresh thinking, innovation and the willingness to approach each opportunity with an open mind. We work closely with all our clients to understand their individual needs and aspirations, aiming to exceed expectations and achieve results of which we can all be proud.

Programme Control & Project Management: Our personal approach combined with our experience of programme control and project management mean we can consistently deliver the best possible product for our clients no matter what constraints a project presents.



Innovation & Craftsmanship: We believe that at its best, architecture is bold, dynamic and innovative and we strive to bring these qualities to our work. Whilst pragmatic, our design approach is progressive and delivers contemporary solutions with inherent beauty and a commitment to craftsmanship.

Our current workload includes a nursery school, a student union refurbishment, a college block extension, housing (private & commercial), student housing and the refurbishment of a Grade II listed Mill.



The practice is RIBA chartered and offers a full range of architectural and project management services.
