The Practice:
We are an Architectural and Structural Design Consultants based in the village of Baildon in the Bradford District of West Yorkshire.

Archi-Structure offer a full range of services in the fields of Architectural, Structural, Civil, Project and Contract Management, Geotechnical Engineering, design, surveys, option appraisal, planning supervision, alterations, extensions, repairs, refurbishment and new build to provide a comprehensive integrated, approach to large and small projects alike.

The practice is equipped with structural analysis programs to enable cost-effective designs to be prepared rapidly and the effect of changes to be speedily assessed. All drawings are produced using Computer Aided Design and Detailing (CADD) software.

The work of Archi-Structure is always practical ensuring that clients' aims are met and supported by sound engineering and technical knowledge.

We are probably the UK's leading designers for Mosques and Islamic Schools. Our work and projects covers areas as far away as Glasgow. Mr Al Samarraie is the author of one chapter on Mosque design in the "Metric Handbook-Planning and Design Data" published by the Architectural Press.
