Considered - Modern - Homes

Architecture is more than building a house. It is about embracing both the functional and artistic disciplines. It is about creating a multisensory and immersive sense of place that enriches not only our clients' day to day lives but considers at its core, how the proposed design responds to its environment in a sustainable manner, how the form of the structure sculpts natural light and how the texture of its materials foster emotion.

At GTA Studio we provide our clients with an unparalleled, multi award winning, high end, contemporary architectural design service.

From house extensions or internal reconfigurations through to new build homes and multi house developments, the team at GTA strive to create highly sustainable, contemporary and timeless architectural soloutions that go far beyond client expectations. 

GTA offer a full turnkey design service from concept, planning, building regulations and interior design through to project coordination to completion.  

GTA are honered to be recognised as one of the top 100 architectural design practices in the world by renowned New York based award firm, Luxury Lifestyle Awards.
