About David Hickinson Architecture

Architectural Design in Hull, East Yorkshire & North East Lincolnshire

Since 2012, David Hickinson Architecture (DHA) has been helping homeowners, self-builders, and property developers across the Humberside area transform their ideas into beautiful, practical spaces.

Founded by architectural designer David Hickinson, the practice was built on a simple belief: great design starts with understanding people. Every home, every family, and every lifestyle is different. That is why our work begins with listening.

We Listen. We Think. We Create.

At DHA, design is not about imposing a style; it is about discovering what feels right for you.

We take the time to understand how you live, what inspires you, and what your home needs to achieve. Then we think, exploring layouts, light, and flow, before creating a design that balances aesthetics, comfort, and practicality.

Our approach has earned us a trusted reputation across Hull, East Yorkshire, and North East Lincolnshire for architecture that feels personal, thoughtful, and achievable.

Whether it is a single-storey extension, a full renovation, or a bespoke new build, we make the process clear and stress-free from the first conversation to the final sign-off.

Our Mission

At DHA, we turn your dreams into reality. Inspired by your vision, we create spaces tailored around your lifestyle, spaces that bring joy, comfort, and a sense of wellbeing. Creating beautiful homes that people love is not just our work, it is our passion.

We believe that architecture should do more than meet regulations or look good on paper. It should enhance the way you live every day, making your home more efficient, uplifting, and connected to the way you use it.

A Local Practice with Wide-Ranging Experience

Working throughout Hull, Beverley, Grimsby, Brigg, Doncaster, and surrounding areas, we understand the unique challenges and opportunities of designing in this region.

Our experience includes:

  • Home extensions, loft conversions, and modernisations
  • New build homes and self-build projects
  • Renovations and refurbishments of listed buildings
  • Planning and Building Regulation Approvals
  • Tender and technical drawing packages for builders and consultants

We also collaborate with architectural practices, developers, and planning consultants who need expert support to move projects beyond the planning stage. We provide clear, compliant building control drawings and specifications that make the approval process simple and efficient.

The Person Behind the Practice

David brings years of hands-on experience and a personal commitment to delivering design that works in the real world. His background in both residential and commercial architecture allows him to balance creative vision with technical precision.

Clients describe David as approachable, practical, and detail-driven, someone who genuinely cares about their project’s success. Much of DHA’s work comes from repeat business and word-of-mouth recommendations.

Design That Lasts

We do not believe in trends that fade quickly. We design homes that last, both in function and feeling. Every line drawn and every detail considered serves a purpose: to create spaces that are efficient, comfortable, and timeless.

By combining creative design with local knowledge and regulatory expertise, we ensure your project moves smoothly from concept to completion.
