Architects, planners, 3D modellers and interior designers of commercial, residential and community projects. Haddow Partnership is a practice of eight with four fully qualified architects. Our office is situated in the old Market Square of Basingstoke. The practice has a wide range of work from commercial offices to large-scale domestic projects, school buildings to major extensions as well as interiors. The practice is interested in designing buildings within principles of sustainable development, and also to be fully accessible. We use energy efficient techniques in our construction and specify low maintenance materials. The practice is skilled and experienced in working efficiently within tight budgets and timescales, and we always strive for a solution, which brings quality of design to the setting, and to craft a building carefully suited to its purpose. We have successfully developed the use of high quality visual techniques, made possible with the advanced software, Graphisoft's ArchiCAD, licensed to the practice, and in the year 1999, received the award for the best use of this software in Britain. To assist in achieving a successful solution, advanced 3D modelling software is used from a project's inception. This enables designers to accurately visualise a proposal within its context and allows our clients to easily participate in the design process, a procedure the practice encourages. The practice is committed to high quality presentations for planning applications. This is particularly important in situations where planning issues are sensitive and the case for granting approval can be strengthened by a clear representation of a good quality design. Haddow Partnership is an 'Investor in People', embraces a commitment to training and development of its staff, and has an equal opportunities policy. Haddow Partnership has been shortlisted for this year's RIBA Ibstock Downland Prize with the House at Woolbury due to be announced at the end of September. They were also shortlisted (one of ten) last year for the RIBA South Awards for their extension at The Old Rectory and RIBA Ibstock Downland Prize.
