Contemporary extension to a public building in West Yorkshire

Who we work with

Construction for homes, public buildings and commercial property

Two Gates Design works with homeowners, public-sector organisations and commercial stakeholders across Huddersfield and West Yorkshire.

The right approach for the brief

Different buildings. One connected way of working.

Every client brings a different set of priorities. Explore the sector that reflects your project to see how we connect those priorities to a practical route through design, planning and delivery.

The differences between these sectors are mostly about constraint rather than craft. A private home is usually occupied throughout, so the questions are about dust, access and how long the kitchen is out of use. A school or community building has to keep operating around the work, which pushes the difficult stages into holidays and evenings and makes the programme less negotiable than the specification.

Commercial work tends to turn on a different axis again: a date when the space has to be trading, and a tolerance for disruption set by whoever is paying rent on it. Each of those pressures changes how a project should be sequenced, and getting that sequence right at the start is usually what determines whether the finish date holds.
