We have known CDP from 2004 right up to the present. During that time CDP have asked us to participate in a huge variety of projects in the fields of education, health, commercial, retail, hotels nightclubs, conservation and residential . The projects have ranged from small bespoke projects to large highly complex buildings. CDP is a highly professional and successful practice. The ethos of CDP as defined by their two Directors Paul and Paolo sets out to be ambitious on behalf of their clients, to be determined in overcoming obstacles and delivering a quality product in the end. They achieve this in a very efficient manner which is at all times optimistic and friendly. We wish CDP best wishes for their continued success in the years ahead.

We have worked with CDP Architecture on a number of residential and commercial projects from initial concept development, design, planning and through to construction. We find their ability, can do attitude, and commitment greatly benefits our projects and have no hesitation in recommending them to future Clients.

I engaged the services of CDP Architecture for a one-off house build on a corner site, from the initial planning application through to project completion. I have found their staff to be friendly, professional, and very quick to respond to my queries and concerns. They have efficiently managed many aspects of the project, including selecting a contractor and recommending interior finishes, such that the self-build process has been an adventure, rather than a stressful experience. The house they created for me is skillfully designed to be unique and modern, yet sympathetic to the surrounding properties. I would have no hesitation in working with CDP again in the future

I’ve worked with Louise, Paul and Paolo for nearly 10 years on multiple projects in the hospitality industry and on my own home. Happy to say that I’d fully recommend the CDP team in terms of their professionalism and their work ethic. Their depth of knowledge in terms of Design, Project Management, Local Authority Regulations and Certification is top-drawer. I’m looking forward to working with CDP for many years to come.”

Why Choose us

We design buildings to embrace both aesthetics and function which is expressed through form, materials and with specific reference to their location and setting. We strive to source new products, materials and building processes to provide innovative designs which are sustainable and environmentally friendly.

CDP Architecture strive to achieve impact regardless of form, scale or function. We offer professional architectural support to a broad and diverse client base ranging from high profile landmark buildings to private nursing homes for both the commercial and residential sectors.

When excited by a new venture proposition, and in haste to get to the point, it is human to ‘push for a result’. But discarding the thought process and ideals of a vision is to miss most of the story. In the end we may know the structure, but not why it matters. What one person thinks is beautiful, is beautiful to them. We take on board the needs and expectations of clients, and invite each client in the architectural process of delivering their vision.
