Hopkins Architects are one of the country’s leading architectural practices and are committed to the production of high quality, environmentally responsive and energy efficient buildings.  They have a proven track record in designing buildings that achieve BREEAM ‘Excellent’ that dates back to the Inland Revenue Centre in 1992. They have also recently designed a number of buildings in the United States that have achieved the highest rating ‘Platinum’ under the equivalent American system, LEED®. One of these, the Northern Arizona University’s Applied Research and Development Building scored 60 out of 62 available points on the LEED® rating, making it one of the highest scoring Platinum projects ever awarded.

Hopkins Architects commitment to environmental design was recognized recently by Building Magazine which awarded them the “Sustainable Architect of the Year award 2008”.
