Roddie MacLean, Mattin MacLean Architects

Roddie’s expertise lies in adding value to property through a proper analysis of the use of space, exploiting light and volume to create liveable environments to meet modern lifestyles and the multi-functionality of contemporary business use. Based in the High Peak, the practice has considerable experience of work in sensitive rural environments, the Peak National Park and green belts.

Many of its projects involve historic buildings, often listed and / or in conservation areas. Roddie is also a developer, and manages a portfolio of retained property – residential, commercial and holiday accommodation.
