In the mid-90s, Koru director Mark spent spent three years travelling overland through Africa, Asia and South America. This experience opened his eyes to global environmental devastation and climate change. We promote design that is respectful of its context and that responds to the scale, rhythm and materials of the locality.
Our design solutions have originality and integrity and are guided by the principles of environmental sustainability. Creative use of light and space, attention to detail and the careful selection of natural materials are all characteristics of our projects. Our approach to each design is unique yet our aims are the same: to create spaces that are delightful, comfortable and sustainable.

Koru Architects is an award-winning design-led practice specialising in eco-design. We work in Brighton and across Sussex on residential and commercial projects, both new-build and extensions/alterations. Our creative and holistic approach to a project coupled with our ability for problem solving and lateral thinking enables us to explore many more options than may at first be apparent.
Generally we charge for our time and services as a fixed fee. Only the smallest projects and additional services mid-project would be invoiced on a time charge basis. Therefore, if the scope of your project does not change, our fees will remain as a fixed amount from the start of the project to completion.
All fully trained architects are registered with the ARB, which regulates the profession. Using their register means you can be sure your architect has the appropriate training, qualifications and professional credibility. Our director, Mark Pellant, has been an ARB-registered architect for 25 years.
Competitions, certificates and awards are a valuable way of differentiating levels of skill beyond the training and registration all architects are required to complete. They help you commission with confidence while showing recognition to accomplished architects. RIBA Awards have been highlighting excellence in architecture in the UK and around the world for over 50 years.
