Tom Halliday

A Message from Our
Co-Founder

Tom Halliday
"Hawkstone Developments was founded from a genuine passion for creating architecture that feels thoughtful, refined and enduring. I wanted to build a practice that approached projects differently, combining carefully considered design with a deep understanding of planning, land and development potential, whilst offering clients a far more personal and collaborative experience throughout the process.

At its core, the studio was created to deliver architecture with substance; projects that are not only visually striking, but intelligently designed, sensitive to their setting and built to stand the test of time.”
