Maxwell & Company Architects

Launch summary

Maxwell & Company was founded in Inverness, Scotland in 1992 by the current Managing Director, James Maxwell. The Practice works mainly for private clients in the residential, sporting estate and leisure sectors. It undertakes designs of new buildings, conversions and work on architecturally important protected buildings. The Practice’s philosophy is about fulfilling opportunities, adding value and delivering results which enhance people’s lives and their surroundings. Architecture is essentially an intellectual pursuit with a practical result. It is both autocratic and democratic, requiring the skills of individuals collectively employed. The reward is the journey taken with the Client, a team of Designers and the Building Contractor from the germ of an idea to the completion of the finished product. Maxwell & Company works constantly to ensure a strong partnership with a keen focus and to forge long term relationships. The Practice believes it is critical that its Clients are fully involved and are able to communicate with it, have trust in its understanding of and commitment to their projects and that the parties enjoy a shared vision. The Practice has a large portfolio of projects with a design aesthetic rooted in traditional form but creatively exploited to meet specific demands of client, location and budget. The firm’s work demonstrates attention to detail and a consistent level of quality. Robert Maxwell, who has been practicing in the capital for the past ten years, has been appointed Director and will lead the London office with the flair and management skills acknowledged by his increasing client base.
