About Us
Deacon and Richardson are a Brighton based practice providing architectural services across Sussex and the South-East.

We are first and foremost, approachable. Beginning with our initial consultation we want to get to know you, the client, to understand what it is you’d like to achieve and how we can best help you to get there. Every project is unique, and we are here to listen, discuss and advise. Collaboration is key.
We take pride in the variety of work we are skilled in delivering, from all manner of domestic works to larger residential, commercial, healthcare and accessible design projects. Creatively pragmatic, we understand that a successful project is one of coordination and harmony, a careful balancing of a myriad of factors starting with your aspirations as a client.
We will always endeavour to deliver you a distinctive and successful design while safeguarding your budget, navigating statutory frameworks and responding to context.
If your project requires input from other consultants such as structural engineers, ecologists or party wall surveyors, we have great working relationships with other local practices. We will help you bring the right people into the team and work closely with them to integrate their services into a coordinated package.
Whether you're planning an ambitious new build or thoughtful alterations to your existing home, D+R can help.
