Practice Profile/ Philosophy:

Blake Hopkinson Architecture L.L.P. was formed in April 2007 by Darren Blake and James Hopkinson. Both partners have served time in senior positions in major architectural practices in Newcastle upon Tyne. This time includes a significant period working together on major north east projects. Both individuals have a combined experience of over 30 years of primarily working in the commercial, education and residential sectors. Darren is a chartered architect whose portfolio includes the multi award winning Sage Group’s New Offices at Newcastle Great Park and a full range of private and social residential schemes. James is an interior designer who has completed a host of successful commercial fit outs and residential schemes across the country.

The practice was born from a desire to produce quality in design and to re-ignite the success of a previous working relationship. The practice employs a number of key individuals who complement and add to the expertise of the team. The practice seeks to offer all of our clients in depth service which benefits from the range and wealth of knowledge and experience within the office. The practice can offer a full range of services from inception to completion. Our services can be specifically tailored to suit an individual projects requirements.
