APEC is an abbreviation for Architects, Planners and Ecclesiastical Consultants.The practice, founded in 1969, has designed projects throughout England. Birmingham provides an ideal central location.
From the beginning, APEC has set its sights on the pursuit of excellence in architecture. The work has continued to comprise prestigious projects in both the public and private sectors. Areas of experience include:Housing, health, exhibition, commercial and industrial buildings along with church and community architecture for which APEC has a special reputation.
Experience in conservation and new use of old buildings has developed with the growing concern for the nation's heritage. APEC has a well established reputation within the conservation field, and can offer specialist services such as conservation management plans.
Development and feasibility studies have formed a significant part of APEC's work. They have shown the benefits to be gained from the thorough analysis of particular circumstances and the precise definition of the problems. Without this, there is a real danger of producing a hasty, superficial design. Whilst a close working relationship between client and architect is promoted throughout the design and building process, APEC give this special emphasis at the feasibility stage. By precisely establishing what is really needed, the design evolves quite naturally, and the completed building reflects and serves the special needs of its occupants.
