Everybody has a dream...

Our job is to crystallise your thoughts into an inspired sketch design that captures the 'big idea' at the heart of your project..

Then we commit to a highly detailed design process, combined with a finely structured approach to administer the construction process, that results in a home to match your deservedly lofty aspirations.

Creating cost effective structures with style that doesn't date is our approach to Commercial design...

John Palmer has designed many commercial buildings; from inventive accommodation solutions to corporate head offices - finding in each the opportunity to sensitively augment the buildings environment, while investing buildings with their own style and personality.

All architecture sits in a vital community setting...

Palmer & Palmer have worked consistently through the years to add value to our community building stock, either by designing new structures that pay careful attention to their cultural and physical location, or by conserving existing buildings to progressively reflect our local heritage.
