Norfolk Chambers Podcast | with John Norfcliffe | Redhead Architects

Written by Haze Carver on 19 April 2023.

In todays’ podcast Haze Carver, AKA The Zinger is chatting with John Nortcliffe, Founder and Director of Redhead Architects, an architects firm based in the heart of Norwich.

They talk about the challenges and successes of setting up a business just as Lockdown began, starting his career working in practices in London and Bermuda until the pull of living a family life in Norfolk came calling.

“The plan is to keep it simple, be nice, work hard and listen to our clients to produce the best designs we can.”

Good design made simple

Redhead Architects is a chartered practice, located in the heart of Norwich. We deliver new-build and retrofit projects, ranging from one-off homes, city apartments, hotels, commercial and heritage projects. We use sound design principles to seek the potential for joy in every scheme. (No matter how well-hidden). Over the years, we feel lucky to have shared fantastic experiences working with amazing people on a vast array of residential, commercial, education, conservation and master-planning projects both in the UK and Bermuda for several great practices. …Redhead Architects is the culmination of these experiences.

Having worked for many practices over the years, we wanted to seek out a better, more collaborative way of working and sharing ideas. We use simple sketches, BIM models and Virtual Reality to ensure that everyone has a clear understanding of their project, right the way through from concept to completion. We use these tools to test our ideas and fine-tune our projects throughout the design process and into our production information.
