Architecture that responds to Derbyshire
Derbyshire brings together city-centre sites, historic market towns, rural villages, conservation areas and regeneration opportunities. A successful architectural project in this region needs more than attractive drawings. It needs a clear brief, a strong planning strategy, technical confidence, commercial awareness and a design that responds to its setting.
Sigma Architects is a RIBA Chartered Practice situated in Derby. Founded in 2021 by long-time collaborators Lee Smith and Steve Basran, the studio combines the energy of a young practice with senior architectural experience across residential, commercial, workplace, education, healthcare, heritage, industrial and mixed-use projects.
What Sigma Architects delivers
Sigma provides architectural consultancy from the first conversation through to project completion. The team works with private homeowners, landowners, developers, charities, education providers, healthcare organisations and commercial clients.
The practice supports projects including bespoke homes, house extensions, residential developments, office refurbishments, workplace fit-outs, mixed-use conversions, industrial buildings, community facilities, conservation-sensitive schemes and urban regeneration work.
A structured process from concept to completion
Every project starts with an initial consultation to understand the brief, site, budget and ambitions. Sigma then develops concept options, prepares planning or lawful development submissions, coordinates technical design, supports Building Regulations compliance, assists with tender documentation and provides construction-stage input where required.
This structured approach helps clients understand what is possible, manage risk, control decision-making and protect the design quality of the project as it moves from early ideas into delivery.
Real project experience
Sigma’s portfolio includes residential, commercial, community, workplace and regeneration schemes. Examples include the St James’s Street conversion of Grade II Listed buildings into apartments and retail/workspace, Hoddesden industrial concept design and planning for a 50,000 sq ft unit, Cubo Pride Park workplace transformation across an 18,000 sq ft building, Birch House office and ancillary refurbishment, Chesterfield Canal masterplanning, and multiple residential extension and redevelopment projects.
