about ATPA
We’re an easy-to-work-with,
no-nonsense architectural practice
Founded by Alfonso Padro and Simon Grayson, ATPA is a newly formed architectural practice that takes a nimble people-centred approach to design.
We are working with many leading, developers, contractors and trusts on commercial, education, hospitality and aviation projects.
Design with a sense of place
ATPA’s designs are built on a foundation of listening and research. We work hard to create a strong design identity to ensure our schemes work in their place.
By delivering timeless and at times award-winning designs that weather well and age appropriately, our buildings are built to last.
Freedom to deliver architectural projects effectively
We know good design is rooted in architecture borne from listening to you, our clients. So, founding ATPA is our response to bring back architecture to what it should be; designed for the end user.
By investing in research, we improve the process of design. And by being nimble our focus is always on meeting your needs.
Ego free and without a prescriptive style
People like working with us. And say we make the architectural design process much easier. There’s no ego, preconceived notions or formulaic approaches here.
Our design approach is client led where we listen to your brief and design what you want.
An architectural practice with contractor understanding
With over 35 years combined construction industry knowledge, ATPA are architects who get the world of contracting and know how to build.
We’re well versed in bringing the best out of design teams by maintaining momentum and driving towards the project end goals that matter to you.
A commitment to completion
Our style isn’t to turn away from problems but to look to solve them with you. We’re happy to step in and even up where necessary.
Our commitment to consistency makes our architectural practice stand out and ATPA always follows projects right through to completion, no matter the scale or complexity.
Community-led and open to collaboration
We’re not shy about collaborating and sharing when it comes to architectural design. In fact, we see it as a positive.
We want the best for our clients and the people who will be using the building.
