At RISE, we believe architecture is more than just buildings — it’s about people, places, and purpose. Whether you're looking to transform a home, create a space that supports wellbeing, or build something completely new, every design journey with us begins with listening.

Your consultation is a chance to tell us what matters to you — your lifestyle, your aspirations, your values — so we can translate them into thoughtful, sustainable architecture.

Our experienced team works across homes, cultural spaces, commercial projects and retrofit transformations. We specialise in low-energy design, natural materials and innovative 3D technology to help you see and feel your space before it's built.

This form is your first step. Once submitted, we’ll review your brief and be in touch to arrange a no-obligation call where we’ll share our initial thoughts, discuss next steps, and answer any questions you may have.

We can’t wait to hear more.
