About us
With over 30 years of hands-on building and development experience, we bring practical insight to every project—ensuring your dream becomes reality with expert design, planning, and consenting.No two projects are the same.
Whether it’s a home or a commercial building, we carefully study each client and their site to design a structure that responds to its environment and your specific needs.
We begin with a pencil, then move to the computer, designing every project in full 3D—minimizing costly structural changes during the build.
Your wants, needs, and aspirations are translated into creative, precise, and fully detailed plans—the essential first step toward bringing your dream project to life.
We’re committed to making your journey enjoyable and stress-free. Friendly, open, and approachable, we back our process with decades of practical experience—exactly what your project needs.
We think it’s time to get started. Do you?
Background & History
Our Design Director, Alan Simpkin, founded his Design & Build company in 1993, originally aiming to build just four homes per year to support the design side of the business.
That plan quickly evolved—within the first two years, the team had completed 44 homes, and the momentum continued. Over the next decade, they averaged 20 homes annually.
In 2003, the focus shifted exclusively to architectural design, and the company has been dedicated to creating exceptional architecture ever since.
Alan’s sons, Tristan and Trent, have since joined the team, bringing with them a combined 25 years of experience. Their involvement in property development alongside architecture means their practical design and construction expertise is embedded in every Arcline project.
