Thoughtful Architecture That Works

Rowan House, Heslington

Carve Architecture is a RIBA Chartered Practice based in York, working across Yorkshire. We believe good architecture should be enjoyable to live in, work in and build. From contemporary homes and heritage buildings to carefully considered commercial projects, we create architecture that responds to its context, is technically robust and remains enjoyable to use for many years to come.

Homes

Working with home-owners to create and transform their homes is one of our real passions at Carve Architecture. It requires a sensitive and thoughtful response and involves us working closely with the individuals or family who will live in the finished dwelling. It also usually requires us to work with existing buildings, and all the peculiarities and intricacies that these throw up.
