Apple IT support for Clerkenwell architects, studios, and design practices
Clerkenwell has one of London's densest concentrations of architects and design practices. Our own office is on St Cross Street, EC1N 8UB, so most of Clerkenwell is within walking distance. We know the postcodes, and we know what design-led businesses here need from their infrastructure.

What Clerkenwell needs from its IT partner
Local knowledge, built in
Architecture and design practices run a distinctive stack: native macOS workstations for ArchiCAD, Rhino, and V-Ray; Parallels for Revit and AutoCAD; Adobe CC across the studio; and NAS storage with 10GbE networking to serve enormous CAD and render files without bottlenecks. We specify, deploy, and manage all of it. Plotters, large-format printers, meeting room AV for client presentations, and physical network infrastructure are part of the service, not an add-on.
Clerkenwell is our home borough. If your practice is off Clerkenwell Green, along Exmouth Market, or anywhere in EC1, you are within a 15-minute walk of our office, well inside our 90-minute on-site target.
Architecture practices
Architecture practices in Clerkenwell typically run ArchiCAD, Vectorworks or Rhino on Macs, with Revit and AutoCAD through Parallels when a project calls for it. We look after the software and licences, specify workstations for the models you actually build, and keep plotters and presentation rooms working, a short walk from our office. IT support for architecture practices.
Design studios and professional services
Clerkenwell's design studios and professional firms need the same foundations: managed Macs, secure accounts with MFA, shared storage with backups that survive ransomware, and Cyber Essentials when a client asks for it. We are Cyber Essentials Plus certified ourselves. How we get teams through security audits.
Our office is in EC1
We are at 6-7 St Cross Street, off Hatton Garden and a few minutes from Farringdon station. For Clerkenwell practices that means an engineer can walk to you, and planned work like a network upgrade or a plotter install is easy to fit around your day.
Where we are
Every Clerkenwell visit starts from our office at 6-7 St Cross Street, London, EC1N 8UB.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions about Mac support in Clerkenwell
Do you specify and deploy Mac workstations for architectural software?
Yes. We spec Mac Studios, Mac Pros, and M-series MacBook Pros to match ArchiCAD, Rhino, and V-Ray workloads at your actual project sizes, rather than handing you a generic off-the-shelf config. We also handle Parallels licensing and configuration for Revit and AutoCAD where needed.
Can you support plotters, large-format printers, and meeting room AV in Clerkenwell?
Yes. On-site support for plotters, large-format printing, client-presentation AV, and structured cabling is standard for our Clerkenwell practices. Emergency callouts in EC1 come within our 90-minute on-site target, from an office a short walk away.
What storage solution do you recommend for architectural file libraries?
Synology NAS with 10GbE networking is our default for Clerkenwell practices, with automated backups, RAID, off-site replication, and fast LAN access to shared project libraries. Your whole studio pulls assets at full speed instead of waiting on file transfers.
