About

Yiangou Architects have been designing buildings of distinction for the last 40 years. We are an award-winning practice with a reputation for creating high-quality, carefully-considered and imaginative architecture. With our experienced team of around 30 staff, we are able to offer clients the full range of architect's services from initial conceptual design studies and presentation drawings to help you through the planning process, to detail design, construction and project management on site.

The practice is unique in its breadth of experience and the variety of building projects undertaken in different sectors over the years. We are best known for our country houses for private clients, whether these be new dwellings or alterations and extensions to historic buildings, however, during our more than 40 years in practice, we have also completed extensive work for country estates, colleges, museums, commercial developers and institutions such as the National Trust, The Duchy of Cornwall and the University of Oxford.

Based in Cirencester, the capital of the Cotswolds, we are happy to take on projects throughout the UK and abroad.
