Paul Testa Architecture based in Sheffield was founded by Paul Testa, an Architect and University Lecturer and a member of AECB (Association for Environment Conscious Building). Paul Testa Architecture aim to deliver inspirational bespoke architecture focused on the end user and environmental sustainability. They have established a reputation for low energy designs, gaining planning for difficult sites, are members of the Passivhaus Trust and more recently are now offering a retrofit strategy.

The Burrows, designed by the team, was the first house designed to Passivhaus standards to gain planning in Yorkshire. In 2013 he was shortlisted for the Self Build on a Shoe String competition, proposing a Passivhaus home for less than £45K.

​

During the practice showcase Paul Testa Architecture will also introduce us to their rebrand!

 

“One of the most enjoyable and creative parts of the project was the design-phase, which was a truly collaborative, iterative process. Paul wasn’t in the slightest precious, and never played the ‘but I’m the Architect card’! He was also very patient as we went through the various pros and cons of flat roof versus pitched, wood burner or not etc, listening to our ideas and trying to steer us to the right solution for us and the site, rather than for him.” -https://paultestaarchitecture.co.uk/about-us/testimonials/
