We deliver a bespoke service regardless of the scale or complexity of brief. We usually deliver our work through one of three philosophies: Creating Places; Creating Buildings; and Creating Spaces. We have a clear method of approaching masterplanning that has proven to be both successful and stimulating; we call this "Creating Places".
This process can be broken down into three distinct stages; Appreciating, Connecting and Designing. We make sure that we understand the context of a project, by analysing, researching and mapping all the available data about a place. These factual matters are backed up by making sure we understand the social side too.

Gaunt Francis Architects is a creative commercial design studio that equates business acumen and technical excellence with design creativity. Formed in 1997, the practice has delivered award-winning projects throughout the UK and abroad, from its offices in London and Cardiff. It celebrates collaborative working and has no single designer or design style but rather a collective enterprise that values collective endeavour.
Architecture is about much more than creating a functional, built environment. The skill in creating value lies in how the design process can add to that functionality by producing great places and buildings that are beautiful, sustainable and maximise the client's investment. Great places enrich our lives and lift our spirits.
We spend a great deal of time getting to know our clients and their business plan. We like to drill down deep into that plan - get under the skin of our clients - to fully understand their modus operandi, what makes them tick, and how we can best work with them. Some clients have very simple plans which require little in the way of briefing but plenty of site analysis and design inspiration.

Virtual reality is developing rapidly and has found many uses in all kinds of fields. We have always embraced new technology at Gaunt Francis Architects, so we have invested in VR technology to create engaging and interactive architectural visualisation experiences and to ensure we remain at the forefront of innovation, whilst at the same time recognising there is value in the plurality of design tools at our disposal.
