Our History & Values
It all begins with an idea.
The Stanley Bragg Architectural practice started serving clients in Essex from our office in Chelmsford in 1948, operating across a number of building sectors. The practice then moved to Colchester in 1985 and became well-known as the firm that provided a premium architectural service to the highest standard.
Our Directors and the wider team have worked closely for a number of years to grow the business and as a result, we now enjoy long term relationships with a range of clients.
Today we seek to be an innovative and contemporary architectural practice, built on the invaluable foundation of extensive experience.
We are as practical as we are creative and take time to understand our clients specific requirements. We seek clear project briefs, and deliver workable solutions. We do not operate within a house style, but instead create contextual solutions that are appropriate to the site and surrounding.
