Architects in Nottingham
HS.AD — Harry Sculthorp Architectural Design, serving Nottingham and the surrounding area.
Nottingham is our home city, and it's where HS.AD was founded. From Victorian terraces in Mapperley and The Park to new-build developments in Clifton and Gamston, we've designed homes across every Nottingham postcode. We know Nottingham City Council's planning department inside out, and we understand what the city's conservation areas — The Park, Mapperley Park, Lenton — demand of a new design.
Whether you're extending a period property, building a new home from the ground up, or converting a flat above a shop, we bring the same planning-led, design-first approach. Our Nottingham clients value designs that feel modern but sit comfortably alongside their neighbours — and we've built a reputation for securing planning approval in parts of the city where others have struggled.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work with Nottingham City Council's planning department?
Yes — we submit and manage planning applications to Nottingham City Council regularly, and we're familiar with the council's local design guidance, conservation area constraints and Article 4 directions that affect parts of the city.
Can you design for conservation areas like The Park?
Absolutely. We have experience designing for Nottingham's conservation areas, where materials, scale and detail matter. We produce heritage-sensitive proposals that respect the street scene while delivering a modern, liveable interior.

Our fees depend on the project's scope and complexity. Newbuild homes and large extensions are typically priced as a percentage of the build cost, while smaller jobs are often a fixed fee. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote.
