Our architects are all registered with the Architects Registration Board (ARB), ensuring the highest professional standards in our work.
About The Practice
Architect Knowhow is an established Registered Chartered Practice with a wealth of expertise, knowledge, and experience, and above all a huge passion for delivering hard working buildings.
Equally important, we retain our personality and ability to listen and respond to client requirements in order to ensure those goals and aspirations are achieved.
Our user-friendly buildings not only promote health, security, and well-being, but also display a positive sense of identity and place.
Located in the south-east region of the United Kingdom we have successfully delivered inspirational building designs and consultancy services since 1999. We are widely considered to be industry subject matter experts for Prefabricated Architecture and Modular Building Technology. Architect Knowhow Modular Buildings was established with a clear and simple goal in mind–-to provide sustainable high-quality modular building solutions at affordable levels across a number of industry sectors.
We look beyond your immediate requirements to design flexible buildings that will adapt with the changing needs of your work activities. Our initial approach will take account not only of the "facts on the ground" but also of our Client’s wider aspirations for the proposed building. The Design Team will make the new buildings "work hard" to achieve the optimum use of space and available budget. We seek to produce inspirational, hard-working buildings that represent best value and which the client/end-user and local communities can enjoy for years to come.
International Focus
In addition to our work in the UK, Architect Knowhow Practice maintains an international focus. We have previously undertaken an Urban Design Feasibility Study in Southern China, involving the development of 1200 Family Units, Schools, and Retail Complexes. This experience has broadened our perspective and enriched our design approach.
Sustainability at the Core
We are deeply committed to cost-effective sustainable development and minimising the environmental impact of our projects using BREEAM (LEED-USA). By employing our expertise in sustainable and low-carbon design, we ensure that our buildings are not only aesthetically pleasing but also environmentally responsible.

How We Do It
Sustainable Solutions
Building a Greener Future
Benchmarking and Measurement
We utilise tools such as BREEAM to measure the environmental impact of our buildings, setting clear sustainability targets from the earliest stages of the design process.
Energy Efficiency
Our focus is on reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions through improved insulation standards, best-practice ventilation, strategic building orientation, and utilisation of natural lighting.
Renewable Energy
We explore renewable energy options such as wind turbines, biomass heating, photovoltaics, and solar water heating, integrating them into our designs and considering site-wide energy strategies.
Responsible Resource Management
We prioritise the use of recycled or renewable materials with low environmental impact, ensuring timber is sourced from sustainable resources.
Environmental Considerations
We carefully address land use, ecology, pollution control, water usage, and management practices to create harmonious and sustainable environments.
Creating Optimal Learning Environments
At Architect Knowhow Practice, we understand the importance of designing spaces that support effective teaching and learning. We focus on key environmental factors to create vibrant and compliant school environments.
Natural Daylight
Our designs ensure that no desk or worktop is more than 7 metres from natural daylight sources. Sun Tubes are incorporated when necessary to bring natural daylight directly into the space.
Views and Connection to the Outdoors
We design windows that begin at or near floor level, enabling children to connect with the external environment and providing a sense of openness and inspiration.
Glare Control
Careful placement of glazed elements, use of canopies, and incorporation of anti-glare measures ensure optimal visual comfort for students and staff.
Thermal Comfort
Our designs prioritise insulation, underfloor heating for warmth, and effective room temperature control to create a comfortable learning environment.
Acoustics and Noise Control
We adhere to BB93 guidelines to create spaces with appropriate acoustic treatment, reducing noise disruption and ensuring optimal conditions for learning.
Environmental Considerations
We address issues such as flood risk, colour schemes, external water, and electrical supply to provide safe, balanced, and engaging school environments.
At Architect Knowhow Practice, we combine our expertise, commitment to excellence, and sustainability principles to deliver outstanding architectural solutions that meet the needs of our clients, inspire the community, and contribute to a brighter and more sustainable future.
