For over 50 years, we have been designing beautiful buildings and spaces with passion and integrity. We are proud of our heritage and founding values which drive our continuous ambition for sustaining and improving our built and natural environment through innovation and respect. Our story begins in 1966 when Ray Hipkin founded his architectural practice, operating from No 4 Asfordby Road in Melton Mowbray.
Two years later he was joined by fellow architect, John Sims, and the practice was renamed 'Hipkin Sims'. In time, Gordon Punt and John Sanderson joined the firm which became known as 'Hipkin Sims Associates' with three offices across the East Midlands.

Our commercial architects balance budget, programme and aesthetics to design bespoke schemes that are responsive to need, and a pleasure to experience. We have extensive experience of working with commercial developers and industrial, leisure and educational partners, delivering sustainable, impactful, multi-use buildings and facilities that meet commercial, health and educational needs.
