about hoopers architects

Our Practice

Hoopers is an RIBA Chartered Practice in Ipswich originally formed in 1912 by architect Harold Ridley Hooper. The practice is a long-established architectural outfit with experience in professional practice. We are a collection of skilled architects and designers carefully striking a balance between craftsmanship and commercial enterprise who contribute to all stages in the delivery of a project.

We work and collaborate with people who share our vision for creatively-led, low energy, beautiful buildings and spaces, who want to enjoy the process of design and enrich society. We’re good at integrating ambitious briefs for clients and organisations who are looking to get things built with an awareness for today’s urban, social and environmental challenges.

Our portfolio and skills extends across a wide variety of sectors and scales from residential, education, healthcare, sports stadia, workplace design, community spaces and historic buildings. We have a mix of clients with a particular enthusiasm for architecture and placemaking and together we think about the integration of health and wellbeing, workplace and culture in urban, suburban or countryside environments. Our clients include the NHS, NSFT, ITFC, Ipswich Borough Council (Handford Homes), RCDEA, The Land Group, Breckland Bridge, Edison House Group and Ipswich Building Society. We are a dependable partner that prioritises collaboration, innovation and development for our clients.
