Andrew Hughes Architects Ltd was formed in 2003 in the town of Ipswich. Much of our work has been across Suffolk and East Anglia. The practice is steadily expanding and over recent years has achieved RIBA Suffolk Awards in both 2024, 2025 and 2026. Most recently, Boundaries Farm received the Craftsmanship award for 2026. Low Meadow received both a Craftsmanship Award in the ‘New Build’ category and a commendation in the Design Awards. In 2024, Salty Dog was awarded the Craftsmanship award for renovation, and Martins received a commendation in the Design Awards.
