About Us
Novak Hiles Architects invest great energy and passion in delivering projects that are beautifully conceived and finely executed. We seek to understand and respond to the specific characteristics and opportunities of each project site and brief to develop a unique design that is both exceptional and deliverable. We strongly believe in architecture that is practical, sensitive to its context and infused with character and delight. We think colour and texture are hugely important.
We are able to deploy our extensive professional expertise in conjunction with a rigorous and imaginative design process to draw out creative opportunities for challenging sites, a process that we find hugely rewarding.
The practice was founded by Carla Novak and Adam Hiles, who bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the practice.
We are currently working on a range of ambitious housing, commercial, retail, and cultural projects for exciting clients who share our passion for design.
Novak Hiles Architects is an ARB registered and RIBA chartered practice.
