A husband-and-wife architecture team are loving life at their new studio.<\/p>\n

Hamer Way Architects opened its doors Macclesfield’s emerging ‘property quarter’ over the summer<\/p>\n

Rhys and Sophie Way, the married couple behind the firm, couldn’t be happier with how things have gone so far.<\/p>\n

Sophie said: “Our first few weeks here have been fantastic. <\/p>\n

“Being in the new space makes us feel so much more connected to the town and its community. <\/p>\n

“We’ve already had people drop by to say they need an architect, which is exactly what we hoped for. <\/p>\n

“The door is always open – whether it’s for a bit of advice, a conversation about your home, or to chat through ideas for a project.”<\/p>\n

Established in 2017 by architects Sophie and Rhys, Hamer Way has grown a reputation for delivering imaginative and highly personal architecture.<\/p>\n

The new studio, just around the corner from their previous base in Waters Green House, offers a more public-facing setting and opens up opportunities for connecting with the wider community. <\/p>\n

Sophie and Rhys plan to launch a series of ‘Meet the Architect’ sessions, creative displays, and design workshops, aiming to demystify the architectural process and make it more accessible to homeowners, developers and curious passers-by alike.<\/p>\n

“We’ve always wanted to create a space that feels open, welcoming and part of the town,” said Sophie.<\/p>\n

“Architecture can seem out of reach for a lot of people \u2013 this move is about changing that perception and inviting more conversation around good design.”<\/p>\n

Rhys added: “We love working on private homes but we also enjoy the challenge of commercial, retrofit and apartment projects. <\/p>\n

“This new space gives us room to grow and connect with other people in the property world \u2013 it’s about building relationships as much as buildings.” <\/p>\n
