WHAT
WE
DO\
A Planning-Led Architectural Practice
Our work is informed by context, policy and practical considerations. We develop clear, well-considered design solutions that balance ambition with deliverability, ensuring proposals are appropriate, compliant and achievable.
Our Approach
We work across residential and commercial sectors, including extensions, new-build homes, apartment schemes and mixed-use developments. This breadth of experience allows us to apply consistent design thinking and technical understanding across a range of project types.
We have extensive experience managing planning applications, including proposals involving heritage assets and sensitive sites. Our services extend through technical design and coordination, supporting projects from early feasibility to construction.
Planning, Heritage & Technical Expertise
We adopt a collaborative and structured approach, providing clear advice and maintaining open communication throughout each stage of a project. We work closely with clients and consultants to ensure designs are robust and well resolved.
How We Work With Clients
MO Architects is led by Iain Orme. Founded in 2008, the practice has built a strong track record in planning-led residential and commercial architecture, combining technical expertise with a practical understanding of how projects are delivered.
​Our ethos is straightforward: thoughtful design, informed by context, and underpinned by sound planning and technical knowledge.
The Practice
MO Architects is based in Nottingham and works across Nottinghamshire, Rushcliffe, Newark & Sherwood and the wider East Midlands. We have a strong understanding of local planning policy and decision-making processes.
