Cuppa was born over a curry + a pint between James Brown and Steve Ritchie, stemming from their 15 year working collaboration, and a friendship of nearly twice as long.

After a change of over 5 years of working in larger-scale corporate architecture, James returned to working on local projects for everyday people, founding Cuppa Architects in 2017 in order focus on what really makes him tick...

​

Transforming the most important places & spaces: our homes.

​

Following Steve's retirement, the business is now entirely family run from their small purpose built studio in Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset.

​

James + Emma pride themselves in offering friendly, approachable service where the central focus is creating quality spaces in which to live, work and play.  The Cuppa Team all love meeting people (+ their pets!), with a focus on acting as a friendly guide through the design, planning & detail processes in a down-to-earth manner.  ​​

​

Despite an ever busy workload, Steve + James still ensure they find the time to enjoy a well-earned cuppa, curry + a pint.
