John Pardey established his practice in 1988 as a sole trader whilst teaching at several schools of architecture. The practice re-launched in 2000 as John Pardey Architects and now employs fourteen staff.
Commissions have grown over the years and perhaps most recognised is our architecture in the residential and educational sectors. We have undertaken numerous private house commissions and large-scale residential developments and become nationally recognised gaining 43 awards, including RIBA Regional Awards in both 2001, 2009, 2011, 2013 and 2016, along with the Gold Medal for Architecture in Wales in 2013.
While we enjoy working across all types of projects, we have developed an expertise in conservation of modernist 1950s and ’60s buildings that has seen us work on several listed modern buildings. Our initial design efforts were focussed on the UK, but we have now diversified our design portfolio to include projects in Europe and the Americas.
