Transforming Spaces, Enriching Lives
Our Story
At Arts Architecture, we believe that architecture is more than just designing buildings. It's about creating spaces that inspire, uplift, and bring people together. Our journey began in 2005, when our founder, David Wright, a chartered member of the Royal Institute of British Architects, set out to create a practice that would bridge the gap between architecture and the arts. Today, we're a thriving architectural design and consultancy practice based in Maidstone, Kent, with a passion for delivering exceptional results that exceed our clients' expectations.
Our Approach
Listening is at the core of our approach. We come to every project with an open mind and believe that good design arises from a thorough understanding of the needs and aspirations of our clients. Our job is to help them to visualise their needs and express their ideas, and to give them concrete form through a careful balance of innovation, practicality, and affordability. We like to be involved in projects from the early stages, helping develop the brief and preparing options studies before developing solutions.

Our Values
