PLACE By Design is an Urban Design and Architectural practice based in Bristol. We work collaboratively with the country’s leading housebuilders with the aim of delivering positive places for people to live, work and play.

With many years of experience, we are involved in projects from conception all the way through to technical drawing and construction, collecting a variety of awards along the way. We take pride in building strong and lasting relationships with our clients with an emphasis on teamwork.

We are an enthusiastic team of professionals offering a multidisciplinary set of skills including Urban and Landscape Design, Architecture and Visualisation.

As part of promoting our clients aspirations we work closely with the Local Planning Authority to prepare, where necessary, Masterplans & Design Codes, Development Briefs, Development Frameworks and Design & Access Statements to support a range of planning submissions.

PLACE By Design specialise in landscape and residential led schemes ranging from one off bespoke homes to 1000+ plot masterplans. If you would like to know more about the projects we have helped to deliver, head over to our project gallery here.
