About us
Voigt Architects Limited was formed by the Directors and Staff originally from The Voigt Partnership Limited following the untimely death of the Managing Director, Heinz Voigt, who sadly passed away in December 2017.
The new Practice is dedicated to his memory and is endeavouring to continue his legacy.
Our Office is centrally located in Scotland working out of the Harbour Visitor Centre in Arbroath where we moved in December 2021. We are an RIAS Chartered Architects Practice and CIAT Chartered Practice, and our members hold registrations with the Royal Institute of Architects Scotland (RIAS), Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), the Architects Registration Board (ARB) and Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (CIAT).
As a Practice we are dedicated to providing energy conscious solutions including design and implementation of ‘green’ technology. Our in-house experience and use of SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) software allows us to calculate and develop a building’s energy performance even at the early stages of the Project. We have recently been involved in Low Carbon and Zero Energy projects.
Our work has been recognised with numerous local and national awards and our specialist ‘one off’ Private Houses has earned us a reputation of quality design from Clients (click here to view Awards). The Practice offers a high quality professional service and has a broad ranging Client base as well as continually attracting new business.
