CPN Architects, CPNA, delivers architectural solutions to the
SCIENCE, LEARNING, LIGHTING & THEATRE sectors.
Its director, Paul Nicholson, has 40 years experience helping international clients through briefing, analysis, vision and concept design to delivery of world-class science and research facilities.
More recently CPNA’s portfolio has expanded to include learning environments from Primary to University level, performance lighting and theatres, working with clients to develop and realise their vision for new facilities and capabilities.
If you have a project or even just an idea in any of these sectors I would be delighted to discuss with you further to help realise your vision.

Working with You
With experience of working with world-class companies, universities and theatres to help them realise opportunities and vision in their facilities and sites, CPNA will work with you at the very front end of project definition and briefing to explore potential solutions. Often, innovation comes from a thorough analysis of the constraints and opportunities and then the freedom of thought to propose solutions.
Where necessary CPNA can draw upon engineers, cost, validation and regulatory consultants to augment its service.
Laboratory space planning, designing to accommodate change and improving the interaction on a site by creating a campus for science are all services that Paul Nicholson has delivered for previous clients.
