Creative Times

FKDA is an architectural / design practice based in Manchester (RIBA Chartered). The practice is design led and aims to achieve beautifully detailed projects of the highest standards by employing simplicity and sensitivity. We place a strong emphasis on the creative use of building materials, the qualities of light and the relationship between building and context, considering these issues to be of primary importance, as opposed to adopting a prescribed style and response. Ultimately our aim is for each project to reflect an informed and original interpretation of the client, site, brief and budget.

Our practice does not specialise in particular building types. We strive on the diversity of the projects we have undertaken and continue to be involved with; from school projects, community buildings, housing, private residential houses to small scale office developments.

For each project, irrespective of its size, we develop strong working relationships with the client, other consultants and the building contractor.

We're architects that are passionate about design. We also enjoy our work, and believe it shows in the results...
