Buttress has announced the promotion of two people who have made significant contributions to the company's success.

Buttress is proud to embrace World Mental Health Day and recognise the significance of this day in promoting mental well-being in the workplace.

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. 

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

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. 

Plans have been submitted to Cumberland Council for an Innovation Centre in Workington.

We’ve spent a lot of time in the last two years reflecting on who we are, where we’ve come from and where we are going.

In this edition of Behind the B we talk with Buttress' Tammy Welz.  We chat about hotels and residential projects as well as what changes in the built environment she would like to see.  

"I think Buttress has always been a values-driven organisation, but we’ve not always had the words to articulate this.“ 

We chat with director Stephen Anderson about identifying Buttress' purpose and embedding it within the company culture.

Twenty years ago, Buttress’ Alex Scrimshaw started his career as an apprentice architectural technologist, joining us from school at age sixteen. Today, it’s been announced that he is a finalist in the national Architectural Technology Awards – one of the industry’s highest accolades. 

Buttress' Alison Haigh offers insights into the design considerations around tall residential towers.
