A bit about us

Stride Treglown is an employee-owned architectural practice and certified B Corp®.

Since 1953, we’ve been clear that great design requires a human approach, deep local knowledge, and specialist expertise—all backed by verified results.

We’re now one of the UK’s largest architectural practices, with 300+ specialists in Architecture, Interior Design, Landscape Architecture, Master-planning, Town Planning and Graphic Design.

We’re great team players who strive for excellence and care how we achieve it. That’s why we promote design that isn’t driven by ego, but by purpose.
