HAT Projects are archi­tects, plan­ners and enablers for built envi­ron­ment projects. We have a rep­u­ta­tion for fresh and imag­i­na­tive think­ing, a col­lab­o­ra­tive work­ing approach, and a rig­or­ous atten­tion to detail.

Our focus is on projects that make a dif­fer­ence – that respond to real needs, allow organ­i­sa­tions to thrive sus­tain­ably, and cre­ate bet­ter and more beau­ti­ful pub­lic envi­ron­ments for all who expe­ri­ence them. We are prac­ti­cal as well as ambi­tious, and seek to max­i­mize the val­ue that good design and plan­ning can bring, both finan­cial and social.

Our design out­put is enriched by our work as pol­i­cy-mak­ers, com­mu­ni­ty engage­ment spe­cial­ists, co-design­ers, and self-builders; and vice ver­sa. We work local­ly and nation­al­ly, from large to small projects.

Time well spent is often accom­pa­nied by great food. Here at Wiven­hoe House, our food is tasty, hearty and thought­ful­ly-sourced. We are pas­sion­ate about cel­e­brat­ing our region­al pro­duce which is why our team of expert chefs con­cen­trate on craft­ing a menu that is full of flavour and guar­an­teed to tick­le those taste buds.

Inspired by French brasserie dish­es but still includ­ing the clas­sic favourite dish­es we all enjoy.

Time for a tip­ple or two? From Mer­lots to Malbec’s, Rio­ja to Ries­ling and Sauvi­gnon to Shi­raz, at Wiven­hoe house our wine list has some­thing for every occa­sion. And of course, there’s always bub­bles for those spe­cial cel­e­bra­tions, local­ly sourced ales and fruity cocktails.
