## About
K-ARC is an architecture studio based in Edinburgh. The studio designs buildings and spaces that are settled in their context, gentle in their impact and, most importantly, reflective of their clients. K-ARC looks beyond the pragmatic brief and likes to learn about the clients interests and eccentricities to steer designs, believing these are often the richest sources of inspiration. The historical, physical and social context of projects is also researched and referenced to help give projects a sense of belonging and a timelessness. This process is paired with a refined aesthetic and the promotion of honest, conscientious materials. K-ARC has worked in a variety of sectors across the U.K. and in Europe, with particular experience in residential projects and bar/restaurant design.

## Before you hire an architect
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade — general guidance, not a claim about this business:_
- Only someone on the Architects Registration Board (ARB) register may legally call themselves an 'architect' in the UK — ask for their ARB number and check it free at arb.org.uk. An 'architectural designer' or 'technologist' is a different, unregistered role (often capable, but not the same protection).
- Agree how they charge before any work starts — a percentage of the build cost, a fixed fee, or an hourly rate — and exactly which stages it covers (concept design, planning application, building-regulations drawings, work on site), so there are no surprises later.
- Confirm what they will actually handle versus what is excluded — the planning application, the building-control drawings, and whether they will administer the builder's contract on site — and get it, and a portfolio of similar projects, in writing.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
- Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
