Quadra was established in 2004 to provide a vehicle for growth in a new direction for founder Chris Stone, who had worked in Design & Build and Private Practice since leaving Liverpool University in 1984, where he had studied architecture.
The company initially worked alongside an established network of clients and construction consultants; this basis allowed Quadra to grow both in size and diversity of projects being undertaken.
Our portfolio now encompasses a wide range of building and project types, having progressed from the outset providing mainstream architectural services to now undertaking specialist building defects inspections / reporting, dealing with Listed Building projects, passenger lounges within the airport environment and on to railway stations, restaurants, specialist laboratory buildings / fitting out projects and veterinary hospital design.
Along the way, our 'open door' approach working within the local community has always embraced the idea that anyone could access our knowledge and experience, even if it is only to ask for an opinion or gain direction as to where to head for an answer in respect of their building query.
We have actively assisted the community within which we work by provision of services, with anything from printing posters or menus to hosting local community groups as part of local fundraising events.
Quadra has also provided sponsorship over the years to a number of local / regional charities including :-
- Horsfall House in Minchinhampton - we have provided poster printing / encapsulation for events since 2011 including fetes and annual sponsored walk ( check out this amazing place at

- Minchinhampton Community Library Trust - we provided funding for new seating for the children's area, various posters, displays and reception desk graphics when the Community Library opened ( Chris was the founding Chairman for the Trust )
- CCLASP - Children with Cancer & Leukaemia Advice Service for Parents ( sponsored parachute jump )
- Circus Starr - having provided sponsorship for free tickets over the last couple of years, Quadra became one of the groups main sponsors for 2024-2025 season ( follow Circus Starr at
