The Team

How we work

John Halton assures his personal attention at all stages of the project from inception through to completion of the appointment. This entails establishing the brief and identifying potential dangers and risks associated with the scheme. Initially a pencil sketch design drawing is produced which is then transferred onto the computer and visualised for presentation purposes. In most cases, this innovative and creative process explores new ideas and opportunities where over forty years of valuable experience, designing high profile and complicated architectural structures is advantageous. Where outside specialist consultants are required, we communicate the intentions of the proposals and collaborate to make sure that the desired effect of the architectural design is achieved and statutory procedures are followed. The technical drawings and project development of the scheme is given the same intimate consideration. This is because realising your perceptions and delivering a successful outcome is of utmost importance to John Halton Design Ltd. Arguably this is the most critical part of the design process and relies on our practical knowledge and competence to determine the most appropriate and proficient form of construction in compliance with regulatory obligations. The company adheres to the highest standards of behaviour and is regulated by a professional code of conduct and the requirements of a registered chartered practice with a commitment to operate with integrity and ethical values.
