Designing and delivering beautifully detailed buildings to clients in the south west for over 30 years.

  • "Thank you all again for your prompt responses and excellent, design and advice throughout the process. From the initial concept through to the end, great service."

    - Greg Clarke, Riverwood Projects

  • “We have worked with O’LearyGoss Architects over many years and we keep going back as Robert and his team are a pleasure to work with.  They understand how to design buildings that can actually be built within specific cost parameters. It’s unusual for us to have to undertake significant value engineering following their detailed design. We have had nothing but positive experiences when Robert and his team are working with us.  Which says a lot about the practice.”

    — Nick Warfield, Director, Freemantle Developments

  • “As always, you are amazing Jenny, I’m very grateful for all your help and support.”

    - Duncan Brown, Travel Acacia

  • “To help bring Guild Heritage back to life, we enlisted the help of award-winning bristol Architects O’LearyGoss, who specialise in the careful conversion of historic buildings. Thanks to their expertise, many original features have been retained and restored, including the Edwardian red brick facade and the revival of the entrance and hallway.”

    — Patrick Kennedy, Director, Hatchbury

  • “We have worked with the Team at O’LearyGoss for the last 5 years with the last two being the most challenging. They were recommended to us by other developers who had positive experiences working with them. They work in a close knit happy environment which produces workable and cost effective architectural solutions to our tight, inner city plots.”

    — Adam Phelps, Developments Bristol

  • “O'LearyGoss have supported Kitto as their Architect on a number of schemes for more than 20 years, including our new Headquarters in Montpelier, Bristol and a new elderly care development in Weston-super-Mare … Kitto place a lot of faith in O'LearyGoss to produce well designed buildings that blend in well with the surrounding environment, comply with building standards and that are affordable to build. They have not let us down yet!”

    — Alex Harwood, Development Director, Kitto Group PLC

  • “A very sharp and able practice that can unlock the most challenging of situations. The design and output is always of the highest quality, whilst being driven by the sharp reality of implementation. Most adept in resolving multiple expert inputs and delivering on complex briefs by reconciling sustainability, highway, hydraulic, energy, ecology, acoustic and other objectives. A pleasure to work with. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.”

    — Mike Orr, Director, CSJ Planning

  • “We have found O’LearyGoss to be pro-active, forward thinking and professional whilst, remaining relaxed and approachable. They are an excellent architects practice who have been a pleasure to work with. They even increased our return by designing in an extra 2 bed apartment!”

    — Andrew Malone, Property Developer
