A leading architecture team

With a highly experienced design team, including three RIBA Chartered Architects, we offer clients exceptional technical expertise, design leadership and reliable professional standards across every project.

As recognised specialists in affordable housing, Pelham stand out as one of the region’s leading architecture teams for housing associations, local authorities and residential developers. Our deep sector knowledge spans decades, strengthened by the unique advantage of working within NCHA, a registered provider (RP). This insider perspective gives our team unparalleled understanding of RP and LA priorities, funding constraints, delivery pressures and procurement requirements, insight that very few architects can offer. It allows us to create realistic, compliant, value‑driven design solutions from day one.

We support a wide range of organisations across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire and the wider East Midlands, including land buyers, housing associations, contractors, parish councils and local authorities. 

Our portfolio includes:

• Small infill developments
• Private residential housing
• Affordable housing schemes
• Rural housing projects
• Care and support projects
• Large-scale urban regeneration projects.

We collaborate closely with our partners to ensure every project meets its budget, timeline, and design aspirations.
