Buttress

Buttress is a leading design studio providing architecture, urban design, interiors and conservation design services.

We’re thinkers as much as makers. We believe that architecture is as much about people as buildings, and that buildings should be shaped by their surroundings, their role and the people who’ll use them.

In detail - The glass balustrades at Caernarfon

The King's Gate project at Caernarfon Castle is a series of design interventions to the World Heritage Site. As part of a short series, we look at the bespoke design details with a shared palette of materials and finishes that have helped shape the project.

A new focus for Clay Cross, Chesterfield

Buttress has been working with our client, North East Derbyshire District Council to support a planning application for the Government-funded £24.1 Clay Cross Town Deal.  If the application is successful, it will secure future investment and create a new heart for the Derbyshire town.   

Large grand Victorian mansion building in pale/yellow stone. It's three storeys with an extended porch, probably for carriages to draw up to. Although the building looks to be in a good condition, the windows are boarded up with black boards.

Buile Hill Mansion plans approved

The historic mansion will now be restored and will accommodate Salford City Council's registry services as well as community space including a mixed-use café bar and wedding venue and function room.
