Craig Liversidge

Partner (ARB / RIBA)

Craig’s journey into architecture began early, sparked by a school careers event where he discovered a path that combined his strengths in art, design, and analytical thinking. That early interest has since evolved into a deep commitment to creating well-considered spaces that respond to context, function, and user needs. As a driven Chartered Architect, Craig enjoys transforming a client’s brief into a scheme that balances creativity with practicality, and results in environments that are both purposeful and engaging.

His design approach is rooted in the belief that good architecture begins with listening and is brought to life through thoughtful ideas and strong collaboration., In Craig’s early career, whilst working on educational projects, input from children provided surprisingly candid and inspiring insights. These experiences have left a lasting impact on his people-first attitude to design, and openness to diverse perspectives.

With over 15 years of professional experience, Craig has contributed to and led projects across residential, commercial, holiday and leisure, healthcare, education, and master planning sectors. From the sensitive conversion of historic buildings to the design of bespoke one-off homes, he brings the same attention to detail and creativity to every brief. His portfolio reflects a strong commitment to community-focused design, with work spanning charitable schemes, specialist educational environments, and complex multi-use developments.

Craig joined Paul Robinson Partnership in 2016 after relocating to Norfolk for a better work-life balance and new professional opportunities. His commitment to the team at PRP saw him become an Associate within a year, and then an Associate Partner two years later. In 2024, he became a Partner. He believes architecture thrives in a culture of collaboration, where every team member feels valued. For Craig, success comes not just from the quality of the final design but from a process where clients, colleagues, and consultants work together with mutual respect and purpose.

Craig’s architectural interests are broad, but he’s especially drawn to projects where design and engineering meet in harmony, creating buildings that are bold yet functional.
