arpl architects profile

Over the 36 years since the original practice was established, ARPL’s status in the profession has grown steadily in line with its position as a medium sized practice, with a reputation for well executed projects with a particular emphasis on conservation and sustainability, and our list of Awards is proof of our achievements.

ARPL are currently working on new and refurbishment housing for Lochside, Ayr, several church and castle conservation and restoration projects and new community facilities in the South West of Scotland. Appointments for church commissions involve a range of denominations and projects from conservation and repair to extensions and new build. We are also involved in Country houses and estates and the design of new houses for private owners.

The practice typically handles projects with construction values ranging from £100k through to £15m.

We have completed some £8m worth of commissions over the last two years, including the completion of the Catstrand new community facility in New Galloway, the conservation and conversion of a Category A listed tower house in Kirkcudbright, conservation repairs of Alloway Auld Kirk, school upgrades for South Ayrshire Council and the second phase of the new housing Ballymun Regeneration Project in Dublin .

The practice has always taken pride in the number of projects where a long term working relationship with a client has been realised, and we have many clients for whom we have carried out several projects.
