HNW Architects: an RIBA Chartered multi-disciplinary practice, based in Chichester, West Sussex, able to undertake projects throughout the United Kingdom.

HNW Architects are an RIBA Chartered multi-disciplinary practice, based in Chichester, West Sussex, able to undertake projects throughout the United Kingdom.For architectural services the Practice, in addition to the four architect directors, comprises five associates, a further six architects, four architectural assistants, seven architectural technologists and two administrative staff. Equipped

with the latest computer aided design technology, including the use of BIM (Revit), which we use comprehensively for design presentation and construction information, we are able to offer our clients a range of technical support, including 3D visualization, walk-throughs and presentations. The full integration of the development process through support technology enables a far better understanding of the project at the early stage, forming the basis for appropriate visual impact assessments and assisting the planning process. The preparation of comprehensive masterplans and facilities management for larger sites with a complex mixture of uses forms a significant part of the workload and the Practice has valuable experience in this field. We also have considerable experience of working within conservation areas, with listed buildings and the sensitive social, economic and environmental issues identified by the Local Agenda 21 Objectives and ‘BREEAM’ energy assessment methods.

Supporting the next generation of architects and designers is hugely important to us as a practice and the profession more widely, alongside building strong relationships with schools and universities.

Over recent months, we have continued to be actively involved in the RIBA Future Architects mentoring programme with students from the University of Brighton and the University of Portsmouth.

Last week, we were pleased to welcome Part I students from the University of Portsmouth to Project Opus at Adanac Park for a live site visit in collaboration with Overbury.

With the project due for completion this summer, the visit gave students the opportunity to see the reality of drawn studio and design work being built firsthand, and gaining insight into the wider consultant and contractor team roles that help make projects possible.

A big thank you to Overbury for helping organise and accommodate the visit, and all the very best to all students as they near the final stages of their studies.

Growing in London!

We’re pleased to be expanding our London studio.

This is an important step for HNW Architects, building on the momentum of recent project successes and the continued strengthening of our presence in the capital since opening our Victoria studio.

It also reflects a wider journey for HNW. From our established base in Chichester, to the opening of our Brighton & Hove studio almost five years ago, and now a growing London team — a huge thank you to our dedicated team, loyal clients and partners who continue to make this possible.

We’re looking forward to what comes next.

Yesterday afternoon and evening, our teams from across the Brighton & Hove, Chichester, and London studios came together to share practice updates, spend time together socially, and support the important work of the Architects Benevolent Society.

As part of ABS’s “Bake the World a Better Place” campaign, we held a cupcake decorating challenge — with creativity, fun and healthy competition on show.

A well-deserved win for Callum, whose design stood out from the crowd.

A very enjoyable way to bring the whole team together while supporting an important cause.

Construction is progressing well at Waterloo Park, Hampshire, with the steel frame up for the new Aldi UK store and groundworks advancing across the remainder of Phase 2.

HNW Architects have been involved in the wider redevelopment of this brownfield site from masterplanning through to outline consent for Hargreaves, and are now delivering the detailed design for the current phase on site alongside Mildren Construction Limited.

The scheme forms part of a wider three-phase strategy to unlock the site for a mix of retail and commercial uses, carefully structured to respond to infrastructure and viability constraints.

Phase 2, due for completion later this year, will deliver a sustainable new anchor food retail store alongside drive-through units for Costa Coffee and KFC, further establishing Waterloo Park as a key roadside and local amenity destination.

The wider masterplan has been designed to allow future phases to respond flexibly to occupier demand, including potential for employment-generating uses such as light industrial and storage, while ensuring each phase can be delivered independently. We look forward to seeing Phase 2 continue to take shape over the coming months.

Thank you to the Mildren team for the site drone photos!

We’re delighted to share that Northwood Park in Crawley has now completed and officially opened, marking a significant milestone for this forward-thinking development in the heart of the Manor Royal Business District.

HNW Architects, working alongside Sixpenny Group, Arcus-PCD and MCS Group as main contractor, are proud to see this vision realised, bringing a new level of sustainable roadside infrastructure and amenity to this major commercial and business hub.

At the centre of Northwood Park is a flagship ultra-rapid EV charging hub, delivered with E-Veezy, featuring Ultra-Fast 400kW charging and designed to support local commuters, Manor Royal businesses, airport travellers and commercial vehicles alike.

Alongside the EV infrastructure, the development includes retail and convenience amenities, with Sainsbury's Local and Greggs providing essential stops for drivers and visitors, creating a more connected and customer-friendly roadside experience.

Northwood Park reflects a holistic approach to commercial and mobility-focused design, integrating future-ready EV infrastructure with high-quality amenity, connectivity and sustainability within new sustainable building designed to BREEAM Excellent, supporting the long-term growth of Manor Royal and the wider Crawley economy.

Well done to all involved, we look forward to seeing Northwood Park in action and how it serves businesses and communities in the years ahead. Read more about the project here; https://loom.ly/3AsFS3U
