A D Architects

We value longevity. For over 50 years, we've created timeless, durable buildings across various sectors including healthcare, education, residential, commercial, and community. Our buildings have improved how people feel, work, live, and learn. We think long-term, investing in our people to bring creativity and care to projects of every size, shape, and value. From initial design through to completion, our buildings reflect the needs of our clients and the people who will use them. This approach makes projects accessible, collaborative, and enjoyable for all.

We listen to clients, stakeholders, and each other. By listening, we solve the right problems and meet the most important needs. We think every last detail is crucial, ensuring projects run efficiently, cost-effectively, and are delivered on time. We also think about the future, applying specialist knowledge and innovative tools to design buildings that can evolve to meet future needs. Our team of experienced architects, led by an AD Director, provides the highest level of care and attention for all projects, from small refurbishments to large developments.

With offices in Hertford and London, we are a RIBA Chartered Practice, UKAS accredited under ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015. Our managing director, Jim Haigh, has extensive experience in the healthcare sector, leading projects from development control to post-completion. He provides leadership and knowledge in various aspects, including masterplanning, feasibility studies, outline and full business cases, outline and detail design, user consultation, contract management, and completion. We offer a range of services that include Technical Advisor and Estates Strategy services in primary and acute healthcare settings.
