 About us

Gilling Dod Architects was established in Liverpool in 1882.  Since then the Practice has evolved into one of the countries leading award winning Healthcare Architecural Practices.  We deliver projects UK wide, with project values ranging from less than £1 million through to £200 million.  We have a team of 90 experienced and qualified staff, with a well developed resource management structure, ensuring an efficient delivery team on all our projects. 

In 2016, we became the 5th Architectural Practice in the UK to receive formal BIM level 2 accreditation from the BRE, and our accreditation has continued.

Our projects cover the full spectrum of healthcare buildings and as such we have amassed a considerable resource of knowledge and experience not only in terms of technical application and design but also an understanding of the issues facing healthcare providers in delivering what can be sometimes challenging and diverse services. At Gilling Dod our architects and interior designers are passionate and dedicated to delivering high quality, innovative and sustainable healthcare buildings with exceptional design that creates the best patient experience possible.
