S+SA offers a full architectural service from concept design to hand-over. We believe that continuous collaboration throughout the design process, within the design studio and with clients, consultants, specialists and project stakeholders, is the key to the success of all our projects.
As a Practice, we cover a broad range of architectural sectors and building typologies. Our philosophy is that our designs need to react, adapt and respond to the needs of the client whilst using the surrounding context as a driving factor within the design process.
We aim not to sign up to design typologies, style or formula, instead we prefer to respond to context and the client’s needs and aspirations with a huge focus on quality in all aspects of design. This is replicated throughout the buildings we produce.
Our services include masterplanning, 3D visualisation, urban planning, fee advice, feasibility studies and counsel on building regulations and the latest legislation. We work closely with fellow professionals in planning, structural engineering and quantity surveying to ensure a cohesive and coordinated approach to your project.
S+SA Architects offer a personal level of service whether we are working on national large-scale projects or local projects closer to home. We endeavour to create long-lasting partnerships with all of our clients, so they know they can rely on us to provide the service they need.
Joel Smith is a Director of S+SA Architects and has over 17 years’ experience of residential, commercial and retail design.

Joel has led and developed many innovative and complex schemes working closely with clients to achieve a high quality finish and ensuring their project aspirations are achieved. Joel maintains a strong emphasis on client liaison, ensuring that his clients receive a high level of professionalism throughout their projects.

"Working with SSA is always simple and effective. Their approach is knowledgeable, direct, and timely, allowing for a seamless flow in meeting set deadlines and requirements. We’ve collaborated with SSA Architects on a multitude of retail projects, both large and small format. Communication and delivery have consistently been excellent. I primarily work with Callum, known as “the oracle” by myself and Project Managers on the client side. His unparalleled understanding of client specifications and his off-the-cuff, concise knowledge of every project he’s involved in are genuinely impressive. The service is always professional—and always with a smile. I would highly recommend working with SSA across our industry for their cohesive approach, quick solutions, and outstanding professionalism."
