Newcastle-based Alston Murphy Associates prides itself on placing design at the heart of everything it does, approaching each new project with enthusiasm and energy. The team’s aim is to find the best design solution that fits the space, the environment, the client’s expectations and the budget. Frank Lloyd Wright described architecture as ‘The imaginative blend of art and science in the design of environments set by the client’. Discovering and harnessing that imaginative blend and enhancing it with practical direction and design is both the team’s business, and its passion. Founded in 1992, Alston Murphy has a string of architecture and design awards to its name. Specialists in the healthcare and disability market, a UK-wide public and private sector client list has seen the team also develop architecture and interior design projects ranging from nurseries, private homes and offices through to sports centres, churches and heritage buildings.
