DELIVERING INSPIRING DESIGN
ACROSS MULTIPLE SECTORS

Creative, award winning architecture doesn’t emerge by chance. It takes years of experience, talent and dedication.

S+SA is a dynamic practice with an excellent reputation and a wide-ranging client portfolio spread across the UK. Specialising in residential, retail and logistics, healthcare and sport and leisure, sectors, excellence of service and professionalism are at the core of all our commissions and we pride ourselves in our creativity and design ability.

Our History

Originally formed in 1968, the practice evolved into Smith Smalley Architects Limited (SSA Architects) in 1991. Over a 25 year period SSA designed and developed 8 million sq ft of Retail space and 5 million sq ft of Distribution space throughout the UK and Eire, and acted as consultants to Tesco Europe. In 2014, Smith Smalley Ltd demerged and S+SA Architects was formed to create the vibrant next chapter, which continues to build on our reputation and client relationships created over the previous decades.

"S+SA have been involved with design proposals for the re-development of the Stonebridge Mills site in Wortley, Leeds for some years. Working closely with our client and the Local Authority planning and conservation teams, plans for the site which extends to 3.6 hectares have been granted planning permission and works have now commenced on site".
