We have experience in a range of sectors and scales from housing and cultural projects to larger urban scale masterplanning and can deliver your project from conception to completion.
Getting the right professional advice from your architect at the appropriate stage of your project isn’t just essential, it’s also cost-effective, often helping to avoid unforeseen or unnecessary expenses later on.
At Gagarin, we collaborate with a wide range of built environment professionals, combining excellent technical, professional, managerial and contractual skills to ensure every project achieves its aims and is delivered on budget.
We have the expertise to deliver across all of the RIBA work stages, and can include the following services:
We deliver full architectural services across all RIBA stages, from strategy to post-occupancy. Blending creative design with technical expertise, we create buildable, sustainable projects. Collaborating closely with clients and teams, we guide projects from concept to completion—managing risk, coordinating delivery, and maintaining design quality throughout.
As experienced lead consultants and contract administrators, we’ll help assemble and coordinate the wider design team including structural engineers, mechanical and electrical engineers, quantity surveyors, and any other specialists required. This collaborative approach ensures projects are delivered smoothly, efficiently and responsibly.
We work with a wide range of stakeholders to deliver projects that clients value. From statutory consultees to local users, we’re experienced in meaningful engagement, including collaborative co-design processes.
We are experienced with a strong track record of securing consents, along with a thorough understanding of the process to help you obtain the necessary permissions whether it is statutory approvals or consents from wider stakeholders such as Natural England or Canal & Rivers Trust.
We specialise in working with listed buildings and navigating complex planning conditions, including listed properties and projects within sensitive settings, such as AONB, SSSI or National Parks. Our designs are carefully developed to respect both local context, character and national planning policies.
We are also dedicated to supporting the construction phase of your project, ensuring accuracy and quality while helping you meet all required building regulations and experienced at delivering compliant buildings.
Considering sustainability is a must for us. We embrace fabric-first principles of building re-use, also employing renewable heating and passive cooling to deliver optimum efficiency. We can also deliver Passivhaus projects thanks to our in-house certified Passivhaus Designer.
Our holistic approach embraces wide-ranging projects and disciplines, including architecture, landscape, interiors, furniture, and graphic design. This ensures that every element of a project is thoughtfully considered as part of a cohesive whole. Many of our registered architects are also trained in interior architecture and design, and this unique and integrated approach gives our projects a distinctive design identity and quality.
We believe great places are shaped not just by buildings, but by the spaces between them. We design landscapes that respond to context, support communities, and reconnect people with nature.
Our collaborative, sustainable approach delivers thoughtful, lasting environments. We also work with experienced horticulturalists to create planting strategies that enhance biodiversity and bring each space to life.
We offer comprehensive contract administration services to ensure a focus on quality control, cost management and adherence to timelines, for a smooth and transparent process from start to finish.
As CDM & Building Regs Principal Designers, we manage and coordinate all aspects of risk management from the earliest stages, ensuring compliance with CDM and building regulations and coordinating all parties involved in the construction process. We believe that architects are best placed to undertake this statutory duty and our senior team have undertaken the latest BR Principal Designer courses, providing the essential golden thread for delivering compliant projects to the highest standards.
These services bring your projects to life through detailed representations of architectural designs. From conceptual sketches, illustration to advanced 3D models, we create clear and compelling visuals for communicating with end users, supporting decision-makers or enabling collaborative co-design.
Our practice consists of a multidisciplinary professional design team with experience in architecture, conservation, sustainability, infrastructure design and interior design.
