Introducing this year's end-of-year video...with a little twist. Instead of talking about all we've accomplished over the past year, we put the spotlight on our people with a festive Behind the B🎄 #ButtressArchitects

About us
Buttress provides architecture, heritage and masterplanning to clients across the country. We’re a multi-faceted community of specialists. Experts, not egos. Team players with all the skills you need, in house.
We’re thinkers as much as makers. We believe that architecture is as much about people as buildings, and that buildings should be shaped by their surroundings, their role and the people who’ll use them.
Our work includes the public and private sectors, the urban and the rural, the residential and commercial, the traditional and the contemporary, and we’re renowned for our exceptional skills in heritage and conservation.
Our approach is about combining the practical and the beautiful, the real and the visionary, responding to the brief and going beyond the brief, finding different angles and perspectives.
We enjoy the unusual, the complex and the challenging. We respect the individual and we work collectively. Giving life to buildings and award-winning buildings to clients and the community.
Ours is a start to finish service, built around quality, creativity and fresh thinking, designed to give you what you want, even if it’s not what you asked for or expected. Good to look at. Great to use.

Buttress' Heritage Consultancy team have been working alongside Leeds City Council to develop several pieces of work as part of the Morley Town Deal, following a £24.3 million grant from the government's Towns Fund. The work had included the development of a Shopfront Design and Maintenance Guide, and a new Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan for the Morley Conservation Area. The Shopfront Design and Maintenance Guide aims to set out and promote guidance for good shopfront design in Morley, to ensure that shop units contribute positively to local townscape, and to help owners and tenants to effectively manage their historic buildings. The Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan defines the special character and interest of the Morley Conservation Area, exploring what makes it unique, with the aim of supporting and managing change within the historic built environment.

As part of our celebration, we spoke to Warren Chapman from Gillespies, the landscape architects who helped shape Brunswick's green spaces.
