Nobbs Radford Architects are a design architecture studio specializing
in a residential program.
Alison Nobbs and Sean Radford established Nobbs Radford Architects in
2002. We are a design driven practice with over 10 years of
residential experience. We believe architecture can enrich daily
existence and enjoy the process of exploring possibilities for change
within the built environment. Nobbs Radford Architects is currently
undertaking projects ranging from individual houses to more diverse
medium density housing and apartment developments.
The studio approach places emphasis on working with clients to develop
a specific design brief that responds to desired outcomes, detail,
budget, design excellence and successful project delivery.

We
believe that our homes and neighborhoods should be healthy, vibrant places that uplift the spirit and gracefully fit our needs. We call for an end to poor construction, bad design, misleading marketing, unfair lending practices and environmental neglect in the housing industry. We acknowledge our collective responsibility to create Good, Close, Light places to live that leave a positive legacy for future generations.

is an international movement devoted to bringing good design into real life. It takes its name from the slow food movement which arose as a reaction to the processed food industry. The sprawl of cookie cutter housing that surrounds us is like fast food - standardized, homogenous, and wasteful. It contributes to a too fast life that is bad for us, our cities, and the environment. In the same way that slow food raises awareness of the food we eat and how these choices affect our lives, Slow Home provides design focused information to empower each of us to take more control of our homes and improve the quality of where and how we live.
