A COLLECTIVE OF NORFOLK ARCHITECTS AND CREATIVES

Welcome to ENSEMBLE

We are a collective of Norfolk architects, designers, and creatives passionate about working together to create effective and enjoyable places to live. We love the architectural process and how it brings people together so well to make the places we all want and need.

Our collaborative approach focusses on delivering innovative and functional architecture suited to each of our clients’ needs. Based out of our North Norfolk studio, you will also find us in Norwich, the Broads and across Norfolk in our mobile office - a converted Airstream trailer!

How we work

As a unique collective of architects, ENSEMBLE curates individual design teams for every single project.

We understand that someone looking for a beautiful extension to their home on the North Norfolk coast will want an architectural team that are passionate about regional materials and design, experts in North Norfolk planning policy and know by experience the lifestyle of rural living. Specialists in timber frame construction, low-carbon design and deep renovation projects may also be helpful, and ENSEMBLE will curate it’s team to deliver all of this for you!
