Guy Taylor Associates
Founded in 1969, Guy Taylor Associates is an award winning, innovative and forward thinking architectural design studio with offices in Newark, Manchester and Derby.
Architecture
The work of the practice is underpinned by a strong conviction to the creative design process and reaching the best solution through open dialogue with clients, consultants, contractors and end users. There is no house style - every project is unique and responds to the brief, client aspirations and site context. Our portfolio of projects stretching over 40 years includes residential, office, education, leisure, heritage and conservation projects.
The collaboration of Architects, Architectural Technologists, Restoration & Conservation experts and Landscape Architects bring together vast experience and a highly skilled team of passionate designers.
Together we offer an exceptional body of knowledge and expertise that embraces every aspect of a buildings design, construction, performance and preservation.
GTA believe that good architecture is user-led, forming through a collaborative process where we work closely with our clients to understand their specific requirements for the project. We like to find the story of the project, which enables us to create a design that is completely unique to the client and embedded within the context of the site. We consider the holistic approach of the project, from the site masterplan to the tiny details, and will focus on how the end user will experience the space and what is important to them.
We offer full architectural services from concept design to practical completion of the building, and work with a variety of media throughout the design development including 3D visualisations, hand sketches, technical details and physical models to ensure that our clients can fully engage with the whole process.

Meadowbank, Manchester
We met Chris Rogers from Guy Taylor Associates, who took us around their beautifully restored and extended Arts and Crafts home located within a Conservation Area in South Manchester. Built around 1910 as part of an estate inspired by the Garden Village movement, the property had fallen into disrepair and lost many of its original character features. Guy Taylor Associates were commissioned to restore and reinstate those details, while adding a bold, contemporary three-storey extension that transforms how the family lives in the home.
