Initiatives in Design was established in 1984 as a partnership, becoming a limited company in 2007 trading as IID Architects. The practice is led by Directors Simon Tupper, Richard Matthews, Nick Rich, Gareth Box and David Brown.

IID Architects has a varied portfolio of community and education projects (including Higher Education) ranging from £500,000 to £30 million – we have extensive experience in conversion and extension of existing buildings as well as new builds. We provide architectural services from inception to completion.

Since Alan Brown and Chris Box founded the practice, IID’s aim has been to provide a closely attentive and enthusiastic service to our clients, and to design imaginative, innovative and well-loved buildings. These qualities have resulted in a number of successful and long lasting working relationships - some of which span 25 years – with Tiffin School, Haberdashers’ Aske’s School for Girls, Reed’s and Hampton School amongst others.
