If the architectural press is full of the clamour of competing and 'self-conscious innovation' - we are not there. All design is by its nature exploratory and must search for a balance between enabling a building to work and ordering its form to please. Our aim is that good quality design should shine through the patient satisfaction of this balance and give delight to owners, other users and those who pass by.
All our projects relate to the specific sites and environments to which they belong. As Chartered Architects and Historic Building Consultants our interests are broad ranging but we consider ourselves specialists in a full range of historic building work, contemporary design, particularly within sensitive locations, masterplanning and community based building projects.
We believe in encouraging clients and all those involved in the building process to enjoy working together to a successful common end. We encompass a number of interests and specialisms which allows for the vibrant exchange of ideas and perspectives.

Services
Spence and Dower can offer clients a full range of services to meet all of the RIBA project stages.
Some may not be relevant to your project.
We look at each new enquiry on an individual basis and will discuss your requirements with you to tailor our services to the needs of your project.
We are happy to be engaged at the start of a project for the full range of services, but we are equally happy to be engaged on smaller packages of work, perhaps to be undertaken as budgets allow.
We are also qualified to carry out work which requires an AABC registered architect or RIBA Accredited Conservation architect.

The differing interests and skills of the individuals within the practice has enabled us to offer expertise across a wide range of project types.
Whilst we are always willing to consider venturing into new areas this should not be misinterpreted as a willingness to do 'anything and everything'.
The skills we have developed are associated primarily with historic buildings, be it their conservation, alteration or building new within their context.
A good understanding of the north east region's environment, through its communities and its varying local vernacular, informs all we do, even the most contemporary work.
