Swarbrick Associates are a well established architectural practice based in Carlisle, led by principle David Swarbrick. Our work covers a wide range of building types and scales. Recent and current projects include education, cultural, community, office & commercial, mixed-use regeneration, masterplanning, residential and urban design. All provide high quality and sustainable environments for their users, offer good value for money within agreed budgets and make a positive contribution to their varying contexts.
We are experienced in working closely with our clients, and welcome that close dialogue between Architect and Client which is such an important part of the best design solutions. Much of our work is carried out in sensitive locations and often in urban Conservation areas. We are conscious of the energy and natural resources used in the making and running of buildings and always seek to minimise both.
We address issues of inclusion in terms of access, comfort, and confidence which we find are relevant to most buildings and to a wide range of users.

Services
Established in 1997 as an architectural practice, we maintain a rigorous approach developed through years of experience working alongside clients with high aspirations, often on difficult sites, strict programme deadlines and budgets.
Success has been achieved by gaining a thorough understanding of client needs, detailed knowledge of the building type, disciplined and intellectual analysis of the context, and by producing imaginative responses and creative solutions.
The result is design and construction of high quality, delivered within agreed budgets and programmes for projects throughout the country.

Our first commission was awarded following a competition win to provide a full remodelling and refurbishment of the Fine Arts Department at the Caldewgate annexe.
A new central facilities block was provided to rationalise the space planning and improve access.
Internal mezzanine floors almost doubled the student floor space.
Further works included major rebuild works to the former listed alms building to provide ceramics accommodation and feasibility proposals for phase 5 campus redevelopments.
