HLM Architects
Architecture and Planning
Sustainable Architecture, Interiors, Landscapes and Masterplanning practice with a Thoughtful Design ethos at its heart
About us
We are an Employee-Owned architectural practice with a proud 59-year history of producing places and spaces that improve people’s lives. With a design philosophy that puts people at its centre, it is our mission to delight clients and users, making memorable places which evoke positive emotional responses. We strive to create buildings that respond to their context and climate, as well as our client’s budget, and we consequently don’t have a ‘signature-style’. Every design evolves as a solution to a unique set of challenges that we approach with ‘signature-thinking’ – this is a creative, thoughtful, and fun process that allows the character and ideas of each project to flourish in their own delightful way - we call this ‘Thoughtful Design’. We have received broad and far-reaching accolades for our designs, including: ◽️ Building Magazine's Architectural Practice of the Year 2023 ◽️ BCIA Digital Initiative of the Year 2023 ◽️ Winner of two Structural Timber awards 2023 ◽️ Offsite Awards Architect of the Year and Winner of Winners 2023 ◽️ Triple winner at Glasgow Institute of Architects awards 2023 Our true reward is knowing that we can improve wellbeing - not only in our design approach, but inside and outside of the business too. We pride ourselves on a diverse workforce and inclusive culture, promoted at board level by our Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging Group and enhanced by our connect day activities. Reflective of our culture, we received the AJ100 Employer of the Year Award 2020 and 2021, and are recognized as a three-star accredited, ‘world-class’ Best Company Employer. We are passionate about improving social mobility, opening new avenues into the profession and encouraging younger generations to pursue their ambitions. Our teams are regularly involved in outreach programs, we have teamed up with Speakers for Schools and RIBA Learning, and signed up to the Social Mobility Pledge, the Lord Mayor of London Pledge, See-It-Be-It Sheffield and DYW Glasgow.

Shortlisted for 2 Education Estates® Exhibition | Conference | Awards, Trent View College is one of the first Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) facilities in the world to have been designed to Passivhaus standards. The college offers a place for students to prepare for the transition into the wider world and adult life, creating an environment where students can showcase their talents and show the world exactly what they can achieve. This co-educational school caters for 60 post-16 SEND pupils and features a heat-intensive hydrotherapy pool, student-led café and several other vocational learning spaces such as a hair and beauty salon and mechanical workshop. Trent View College exemplifies excellence in offsite construction, combining innovation, sustainability, and collaboration to deliver a thriving SEND school. Its design not only addresses the specific needs of its students but also sets a new benchmark in energy-efficient, sustainable educational facilities. Delivered by the Department for Education as part of the Free Schools Programme and operated by the Wellspring Academy Trust, Trent View College stands as a testament to what can be achieved when sustainability, inclusivity, and educational excellence intersect. We are incredibly proud to have been involved in the design and delivery of this unique SEND school alongside Morgan Sindall Construction and the rest of the project team!
