Profile
KORR Architecture is an RIBA Chartered Practice based in Sussex, England. With over 30 years experience, we have created a variety of residential and commercial buildings, including new-build, redevelopment, and extensions in London, southeast England, Scotland, Brazil and Portugal.

Our diverse portfolio ranges from renovations of private homes to transformation of historical buildings into residential and office spaces.

We have an exceptional success rate at achieving planning permission when dealing with planning authorities such as London, Southeast and Scotland including; Westminster, Kensington and Chelsea, Mid Sussex and South Downs National Park.

Approach
Our approach to every project is unique and individual, regardless of scale or complexity. Each proposal evolves through analysis of project needs, understanding the client’s brief, investigation into the social context and study of the specific site.

We are committed to creative architecture with focus on design quality, with social and intellectual responsibility. We deliver practical, sustainable and beautiful buildings that creatively add value for our clients, with significant reduction on overall time and cost during the design, construction and the life cycle.
From assessing the economic viability of the project to design concept, detailed construction documentation and project management – from design of building envelope to interior design and landscape, we provide an exceptional service to meet our client’s objectives in terms of budget, deadlines and delivery of great results.

Projects are developed with the use of a powerful 3D programme and hand sketching, to improve efficiency and communication during the design and build process, reducing risks and costs.
