Part of the Gelder Group

DesignSpace Architecture is part of the Gelder Group, an award-winning Lincolnshire construction company built from six associated companies covering everything from architectural design through to groundworks, build and fit-out. That "everything-in-construction" reach means the drawings we produce aren't just attractive on paper — they're shaped from day one by people who also cost, build and deliver construction projects.

For our clients, that translates into real, practical benefits: a single group accountable for design and delivery, increased cost certainty from the earliest stage, and — where it suits your project — the option of a seamless handover from design straight into construction, without having to find and brief a separate contractor.
