Shaw & Jagger Architects was established in 2011 to provide a bespoke service to suit the aspirations of our clients. Our combined experience across all sectors gives us a diverse portfolio enabling us to provide support through all the RIBA project stages, private or commercial.

The practice has extensive expertise and experience in the residential sector, designing within challenging environments across the UK. Shaw & Jagger was responsible for the first post-war conversion of a Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM) back to residential use in both England and Scotland.

This also includes several NPPF Paragraph 84(e) (formerly 55, 79 & 80) planning consents, including 5 approved at Local Authority level.
