About Us

DV8 Designs was established in 2005, by Lee Birchall who has over 20 years of experience designing and delivering just about every kind of building you can imagine, ranging in project value of £20k to £35m.

The practice is design led and aims to achieve exquisitely detailed projects of the highest standards by employing simplicity and sensitivity. We thrive on the creative use of building materials; both interior and exterior, and the relationship between building and context. We consider these issues to be of utmost importance, as opposed to adopting a prescribed style and response. Ultimately our aim is for each project to reflect an informed and original interpretation of the client, site, brief and budget.

We do not specialise in particular building types. We strive on the diversity of the projects we have undertaken and continue to be involved with; from private residential and developments, bars, restaurants, hotels, leisure centres, swimming pools, spa’s, golf clubs & offices.

Unlike most architects with huge overheads to maintain, DV8 Designs have the flexibility to consider all projects of all sizes. The challenge that we have set ourselves is to provide fantastic, innovative, sustainable design that everyone can enjoy.
