Redhead Architects Summary
Practice Background:
Redhead Architects, an RIBA chartered practice based in Norwich, specialises in new-build and retrofit projects, including homes, city apartments, hotels, commercial, and heritage projects. Founded by John Nortcliffe in 2019, the practice emphasizes collaborative working and idea sharing. They use simple sketches, BIM models, and Virtual Reality to ensure clear project understanding from concept to completion. With nearly 15 years of BIM experience, they continually explore new technological potentials to design better, more liveable buildings.
John Nortcliffe, Founding Director:
John began his career at Purcell, working on historic buildings like Hampton Court Palace and The British Museum. He transitioned to Mackenzie Wheeler, focusing on central London refurbishments, and then spent four years in Bermuda working on diverse projects. Returning to London, he was Project Architect for a large hall of residence at Imperial College, which introduced him to modular construction and BIM. This experience led him back to Norfolk to deliver The Machrie, a boutique hotel on the Isle of Islay for Hudson Architects.
Our Approach: Good Design. Made Simple:
- Data-rich 3D BIM Models: Utilising 3D renderings, animations, and virtual reality to convey design intent and engage stakeholders, helping clients make informed decisions.
- Energy Use and Carbon Analysis: Prioritising sustainability through energy efficiency and carbon reduction, integrating passive design strategies, renewable technologies, and lifecycle assessments to minimise environmental impact.
- Project Management: Overseeing projects from initial planning to final delivery, ensuring they are completed on time, within budget, and to high standards. They also offer specialised services as CDM Principal Designers and BSA Principal Designers.
