We understand their evolution, context and history. We draw on that understanding to inform our professional work. Our knowledge base, which we energetically develop and maintain is available to enrich our work and stimulate new ideas. We maintain a communication and recording system within the office that ensures relevant knowledge is shared on all of our projects for the benefit of our clients.

    We have completed more than 220 commissions in Britain, Australia and Europe include new houses, full-scale reconstructions of buildings, work for schools and arts and religious institutions and commercial fit-outs. Much of our work seeks to ease new life into old buildings – we have worked on over 30 listed buildings – and sustainable building and environment technologies are at the heart of our thinking. At all times we are conscious of our clients’ budgetary and programme concerns and help to plan and progress their projects to conclusion.

    Our work is characterised by a sense of order and calm, finely composed relationships between spaces and between inside and out, and the capture of as much natural light as possible. Our designs respond with vision to private clients’ books, art and furniture, and form optimal settings for their specific lifestyles and aspirations. Work for arts and education clients, often carried out in phases, embodies the values and missions of the institutions. Our architecture has recognisable and themes and consistent values, but provides individual, fresh and creative solutions whatever the context and brief.

    We’re distinctively creative, commercially astute, serious about what we do, and determined to enjoy the journey. We like to build relationships as unique as our buildings so our clients are part of it too.

    Our lack of rules and house style is deliberate. While our process is methodical, it’s also unconventional. We prefer our ideas to be unrestricted and our outcomes unexpected.

    Through our association with Thirdway and their unparalleled market knowledge, we’ve become experts in creative office spaces. But our skill is in bringing new life to old buildings no matter the sector. We’re proud of every project we’ve delivered (and the ones we haven’t – you can’t win them all!), be it a 300,000 sq ft office building, a sea-container workspace with a basketball court roof, or a luxury apartment block. No brief, site, project or client is the same. Neither are we.

  • Ben Adams Architects

    Established in 2010, Ben Adams Architects has quickly developed a reputation for elegant, contextual architecture balancing function with an appropriate degree of innovation and flair.

    Our built portfolio demonstrates an ability to design buildings that fulfill clients’ immediate needs, but which also provides enough flexibility to meet changing requirements in the future.

    Our approach is simple and effective. We employ a rigorous process which ensures that time, budget and stakeholders are all managed exceptionally well, but also allows for the creativity and inspiration essential for buildings which delight.

    At Ben Adams Architects we have particular expertise in the intelligent refurbishment of existing buildings, delivering projects which are contemporary yet respectful of their site, surroundings and historic conditions. We diagnose the existing strengths and weaknesses of a building to fully unlock its potential, rationalising circulation, entrances or social spaces to add experiential and commercial value.

Helping our clients navigate the complexities of the decision-making process by providing expert guidance and advice is a crucial part of this relationship. We aim to enthuse and motivate both stakeholders and the design team to ensure that we help to champion and deliver the original project vision.

    A growing team of 25 talented and dedicated architects, we share a culture of excellence. Our projects have been recognised with a clutch of awards won against stiff competition. People, context and light are our driving concerns. Good architecture is measured by its adaptability and response to its context, social life, the people using it and the light that fills it. Our architecture is for people – all people. We want the spaces we design to promote social interaction and set the stage for living, without barriers. In that sense, we are not wedded to any one style but believe in the power of design tailored to need, wish and context. In our hearts, architecture merely frames light both literally and metaphorically. Manipulating it is our starting point for finding elegant answers to our clients’ questions. In this way, we will never abandon beauty in our quest for the functional and pragmatic.

    Environmental, social and economic issues are integral to our process. This mindset encourages collaboration with our design team colleagues, clients, investors, stakeholders and, of course, end-users.

    More than anything, though, we are inspired by the fragility of the planet. The earth is our home in the cosmos, full of wonder but vulnerable. We are moved not just to protect it, but to attempt in some way to capture its impossible beauty.

Our work is contemporary and thoughtful. It seeks to explore the physical and cultural qualities of places through investigation and observation. The results combine originality with sensitivity and are responsive to the environment.

    We are interested in an idea of context that seeks to understand the deeper cultural situation of a project, into which an appropriate response is woven. It is a way of working which grounds what we do in both the place and ideas.

    We enjoy the relationship between form and matter, and are interested in a way of building that is direct and unpretentious. Our work is informed by history and memory whilst being contemporary and forward thinking. We see our work as a setting for the situations of everyday life, made available through an architecture of generosity.

Every project starts with fresh thinking, leading to a solution that is tailor-made to both site and user. Design is typically undertaken by a small, close-knit team; the team that starts a project sees it through to completion, thus providing continuity throughout. We always consider the built environment as a totality and to apply a truly integrated approach to responsible design.

Our London-based studio has designed buildings in the UK and elsewhere for clients across the public, private and subsidised sectors including schools, galleries, theatres, concert halls, housing, offices, shops and factories.

    Our buildings are influenced by the specific chemistry of individual places and cultural situations.

What they have in common is an approach rather than a stylistic signature.

    Professionalism and sustainability in the widest sense underpins our creative output. The combination of a relatively small, close-knit team and a carefully limited number of projects in development at any one time enables us to offer an exceptional level of service to our clients. Our work has won over 150 design awards, including The 2014 RIBA Stirling Prize for Liverpool’s Everyman Theatre, and is published internationally.

  • Henley Halebrown

    Buildings form the foundations for society: they are our homes, they provide a setting for the health service, the education of our children and young people, and the arts. Equally they are the instruments of commerce. In each case the architecture is a catalyst for social interaction and personal endeavour. First and foremost, we consider this our responsibility.

    We place great importance on the way people use buildings, and how buildings affect our sense of well-being. Of course use denotes function and this suggests a solution. From our experience functions change and buildings, like other things, can and do become obsolete – in as little as twenty years a building may become vulnerable and subject to demolition. So, we believe it is vitally important that our buildings transcend function and that designs have character and, in time, engender fondness in those who use them thereby achieving a certain durability.

    Each building we make is carefully planned to reflect its social logic. Anthropology and psychology also play a part in this. Whilst good buildings help support the community they serve, poor ones can undermine it. We do not strive for novelty but instead continuity. Working sometimes with existing structures we have developed a respect for historic building types and construction. This translates into the way we plan, make and detail our buildings. Here, analogy plays an important part in their conception and communication.

    Many of our schemes depend on a landscape setting. The prospect of the natural world does much to characterise a rich but simple interior. Together, matter, light and shadow, and gardens conjure up a palpably sustainable architecture that has a human, ethical and cultural dimension. In the 21st Century, the physical properties of buildings provide a necessary foil to the virtual world.

  • Henning Stummel Architects

    We aim for an architecture which is rational and poetic, robust and delightful; we tread carefully and build with conviction; we tackle problems head on and think laterally; we deconstruct a brief and let a design emerge from close examination of the pieces; we don’t necessarily take ‘no’ for an answer; we believe the power of architecture extends much further than the dimensions of individual buildings; we believe architecture is about making life better.

    We believe that buildings should be underpinned by a powerful idea; that the idea should be an intelligent and logical response to functionality and a sense of place; and the power of that idea should be embedded in the built form. That way, clients get the buildings they need and society gets the architecture it deserves.

    We believe that the city is one of humanity’s most impressive and precious cultural achievements. We also believe that cities are about connections, transport, communications, public spaces and joy. We believe in locating our buildings firmly within their contexts – not as slavish repetition but as a considered response to site, materiality, amenity, scale and culture.We do not believe in the value of a house style; if we have a house style it is one of process, not of form. We are functionalists. We believe a good building is an expression of a clear and rational diagram. We are not idly blown by the winds of fashion. We believe in the value of research. We believe in contemporary design for a changing world.

  • Jonathan Tuckey Design

    Jonathan Tuckey Design has garnered an international reputation for working with existing buildings and structures. Our studio has become expert in combining contemporary design with layers of built heritage to explore the ways in which old and new can co-exist and elevate one another. We have worked on a number of commercial, cultural and residential projects within Europe, the United States and South America, developing a clear set of principles and approaches to deal with historic and modern architecture.

    We embrace an architecture of change and an acute awareness of style and context underpins everything we do. The juxtaposition of contemporary elements with original features creates a dialogue between different eras and allows buildings to establish a new purpose. Re-using existing built stock is the most sustainable approach to the future development of our cities and countryside, retaining a sense of collective heritage.

  • Loader Monteith

    At the core of our practice is the belief that architectural education should be accessible to all. Our director Iain Monteith engaged in architectural part-time education for over a decade whilst working in practice and as such we fully appreciate the opportunities that this method of education can provide and the dedication it requires.

    This is why our practice fully supports the LSA’s approach to provide the opportunity of architectural education to people from all walks of life. We believe that diversity helps shape the profession, allowing us to be truly representative and responsive to the challenges facing society, both locally and globally.

    As a practice we are actively engaged in architectural education through tutoring and lecturing at various educational institutions, and by joining with the LSA Practice Network we look forward to expanding our engagement throughout the UK.

    Our work is diverse and responds to a variety of factors. At the core of our work is a desire to produce architecture that is truly responsive to both user and context. Focussing on understanding the needs and requirements of our users allows us to form a truly bespoke solution. This is combined with our consideration of the physical environment and appropriate construction methodologies allowing us to determine the most suitable approach to project delivery. Many of our projects focus on ‘reuse’, either through site and materials, or through conservation and restoration. We seek to maximise the potential of opportunities to work with existing buildings and materials in order to extend the life and narrative of fabric and form.

    Since being recognised by the Architecture Foundation as being one of ‘Britain’s Best Young Architectural Practices’ we have gone on to create diverse body of work and have been widely published.

  • Maccreanor Lavington

    We are architects and urbanists based in London and Rotterdam. Founded in 1992, we have grown to be around 80 people, so big enough to tackle projects of any size yet small enough to remain a close knit, focused and friendly team.

    Our team is made up of exceptionally talented and dedicated people. We have a wealth of knowledge and experience to draw upon as well as a common passion, energy and enthusiasm for our subject.

    We work at every scale from strategic to detail and view this as part of a singular process.  The decisions that we make within a masterplan are informed by a depth of architectural knowledge, individual buildings are made to play a role within their urban context.

    We have considerable experience with many types of building: homes and housing of every kind; schools and community buildings; workspace; shops and evermore ambitious high-density-mixed-use-city-buildings.

    We collaborate regularly with other practices and disciplines in many significant large-scale strategic projects: major city extensions, new sustainable neighbourhoods; and town centre regeneration.

    We undertake research, produce design guidance and strategies that inform national and local government policy.

    By approaching work through the lens of embedding social value we build a sense of agency and ownership with a place and the communities we work with.

    We have earned a strong and trusted reputation with clients, peers and local authorities and our design work has been recognised with many awards including the RIBA Stirling Prize.

  • Morris+Company

    Morris+Company is a company of architects. We are listeners, makers, curators, narrators, experimenters and innovators. We are bold activists and obsessive fabricators. And we are connected by our love of making buildings.

    Our work is the product of craft and humanity. The skill of making buildings may be specialist but human experience is universal, and it is from that experience that our architecture grows. People love, live, work, are born and die in our buildings; we bring them into being and leave them to become themselves.

    Our buildings are the result of rich and constructive discourse with our clients. Our methodology is inquisitive, explorative and powerful, and gives us new perspectives on a brief. The communicative, iterative nature of traditional model-making is as fundamental to our process as the possibilities offered by newer technologies.

    Morris+Company was born in 2018, and is an evolution of Duggan Morris Architects. The same restive creative spirit, developed over twelve years as Duggan Morris, is the foundation of our renewed practice, but our reassembly as Morris+Company has brought a broader field of vision and more collegiate way of working.

    Our home is London, and much of our work is in the United Kingdom, but our worldview is wide and the company – currently a family of around 50 members – diverse. Our base in Copenhagen acts as test-bed for a more deeply collaborative approach, as well as a doorway into a new design territory. We are co-founders of Londonon, a research programme which advocates design learning through global co-operation.

    We create an architecture that listens.

    Our ambition is to make objects and spaces that are thoughtful and well-crafted offering our clients creative yet simple solutions. To achieve this, we collaborate with an extensive range of craftsmen who share our passion for combining traditional crafts with bespoke modern detailing.

We love seeing the positive influence architecture has on the communities inhabiting it.  The relationships we develop with our built environment can be powerful.  This understanding will always be driving our work, and it will always excite us.

  • Piercy & Company

    The idea of reducing a design to its purest, most rational form has never really appealed. Material imperfections, happy accidents of the design process or traces of the maker can become the real beauty of the project. Our work seeks a balance between Modernist ideals of pure space and light, and a more poetic form of architecture which has a sensibility towards texture, historic fabric, and place.

    Often we find ourselves negotiating, and embracing, complex relationships between new and old techniques to arrive at buildings that are generous in detail and strong in form.

    We spend time carefully interweaving poetic and pragmatic considerations to create designs with narrative, integrity, and commercial clarity.

    As a studio we have adopted digital production and custom fabrication as a way to be more experimental and expressive with the design process. We deliver projects in collaboration with a growing network of craftspeople, suppliers, fabricators, and makers who share our curiosity and sense of experimentation.

Our minds are open, and we believe that almost anything is possible.

    We also feel strongly that the very best buildings sit happily in their context. Place is always our starting point. We love the feeling of arriving at a new site – in a new city or even a new country – and seeing it with fresh eyes. We take nothing for granted about a place but immerse ourselves in it, researching it thoroughly and from every angle. Out of this process comes a design that responds to its context and belongs.

    After graduating from the Architectural Association and gaining international experience across architectural and interior design projects particularly in Spain, Richard founded his practice in the mid-90s. Now leading studios in London and the Cotswolds, Richard operates at the heart of a highly creative team. Inspired by a broad spectrum of cultural references – from fine art to architectural heritage and contemporary design – his authentic and collaborative approach yields exceptional and deeply personal spaces for individuals and organisations. Appreciating both rural and urban modes of living – and dividing his own life between them – is the basis on which Richard’s modern traditional aesthetic is founded.

    Many of these involve listed buildings, both houses in London and the country, guiding clients through listed building consents and working sympathetically with the fabric to give a well designed and practical solution both for the present and the future.

    Other works include new build houses, flats, offices, libraries, hotels and schools all within the private sector, with an emphasis on green solutions.

    Working across scales and sectors, we aspire for all our designs to enthuse and provoke. We collaborate to support visionary and entrepreneurial spirit, with a design approach that brings brands to life. A meticulous eye for detail, a passion for materials and above all a drive to create. We translate big ideas into beautifully crafted spaces, identities and places.

  • Solidspace

    Solidspace is an independent developer who believes that it is small and medium-sized developments that can really contribute positively to our cities today and help us build the new homes that we so desperately need.

    The Solidspace DNA is our trademark design concept that arranges spaces for eating, living and working over an open series of half-levels. The DNA can be configured in a number of different ways and is designed to exploit both volume and light, creating modern homes that are spacious and flooded with natural light. By using half-levels, the stairs double up as corridors creating a double-height void and our open-plan design takes out redundant walls, thereby allowing light in from all angles.

  • Something & Son

    We use the freedom that only the arts allows to create real lasting change in the world. Our deep and hands-on approach to public art has led us to set up four new organisations, that exist to this day; the direct creation of 40+ jobs and the inspiration for many a copycat project. These impacts are incidental to the core purpose behind our work – to bring new and important ideas, energy and politics into the everyday world.

  • Stead and Co

    We provide a full architectural and design service covering the RIBA work stages, from feasibility studies to contract administration.

    We have been fortunate to have worked on a variety of really interesting projects, ranging from city-wide lighting installations, new build churches, listed Medieval halls to residential refurbishments and school extensions.

    In particular, we specialise in existing spaces.  There is nothing more exciting than giving an existing building, whether historic, mid-century or relatively new, a new lease of life.  All buildings have some sort of history, not just in terms of itself, but how it fits into the wider community and streetscape. Whether finding new uses or extending its life, working with existing properties is both challenging and incredibly rewarding.

    We also act as specialised education architects, and are able to advise education establishments on their capital projects as well as collaborating on learning programmes.

  • Stiff+Trevillion

    Stiff+Trevillion are a well-established West London practice with a strong reputation for elegant and sophisticated architecture. Collaboration is at the heart of the practice’s ethos.

This blend of skills reflects the work we do across the commercial, restaurant & retail and private residential sectors and builds a rich and creative working environment.

    We have built a good reputation and strong working relationships with many central London boroughs, and whilst most of our work is in the capital, we carry out projects across the UK and overseas.

  • studio 8FOLD

We seek out organisations that aim to bring about a cultural shift for a more sustainable world, starting at a neighbourhood scale, and with this innovative initiative create a powerful USP for the capital-driven party involved. Through our unique set of skills in synthesising research, spatial intelligence, and bringing together the right people we help both parties to find a win-win outcome. At Studio 8FOLD we value collaboration, initiative, and offer synthesis through spatial intelligence.

  • Studio Egret West

    Studio Egret West was established in November 2004 by Christophe Egret and David West with a shared vision: to offer strategy with architectural specificity; and specificity within an overall strategy.

    Studio Egret West brings surprise and delight to place making.  Architecture is too often seen in isolation from its urban context. Planning is too often seen as soulless, unspecific proposals that gather dust on shelves.

    We believe that the way forward is the osmosis between planning and architecture. Studio Egret West is just this. We follow no formula and no recipe. Not just architecture by architects and not just planning by planners.

    50/50 Architecture/Urban Design with the public realm prioritised as the foundation of sustainable communities.

  • Studio Octopi

    The practice approaches projects through a rigorous understanding of a site’s current and historical conditions, alongside a collaborative spirit and discourse with both the client and consultants. The practice was founded to offer a ‘hands-on’ architectural service for clients with particularly challenging and unconventional projects. Studio Octopi  has carved out an approach that has led to increasingly complex and diverse briefs from across the sectors with a strong emphasis on research.

Community-based urban water projects are now integral to the practice. In 2016 the competition winning proposals for Peckham Lido will go live on Spacehive.

    Our RIBA Chartered practice was established in 2014 and is led by Tom Surman and Percy Weston. We are regular tutors for the undergraduate course at the University of Cambridge and have taught and lectured at institutions including the Royal College of Art and the University of Westminster.

  • Takero Shimazaki Architects

    t-sa is an architectural atelier focused on producing work of enduring tactile quality. Its methodology deeply engages with each character of the specific context and materiality of each project. Context meaning the existing built fabric, its details, city, landscape as well as the stories and the narratives of the client and the inhabitants. Social, cultural, economical and political aspects of the background context also play important roles regardless of the scale of the project.

    t-sa believes in working with what already exists on site in the most economical means, delivering enriched and renewed built-life to each project. The notion of renewal is researched and investigated within the practice and through teaching at t-sa forum, our own independently run research school. Through materials and each specific context, t-sa has an interest in emotional qualities in the textures and tactility as well as connecting to the past and the future for each project environment.

    From refurbishment of small spaces to new build projects, t-sa seeks for the core essence of each architectural challenge for our clients and aims to create timeless architecture with clarity and sensitive subtleties. It is helping to construct the future heritage of our built environment and landscapes.

  • Tate Harmer

    Tate Harmer is an international architecture practice based in London, specialising in low-energy, low impact projects with the highest design standards carefully integrated into communities. Our award-winning work ranges from single buildings to masterplans and planning strategies, in both a local and global context. We are experienced in residential, cultural and leisure projects that require innovative construction methods in some of the most sensitive natural and historic contexts.

    We bring big ideas to the table and match them with an in-depth knowledge of how to build complex structures. Our motivated team of talented designers seeks to find creative and responsible solutions to any given brief. This personality comes through in all of our buildings, which is evident in our response to site conditions, materials or client requirements. We are passionate about the construction stage of any given project but the most exciting moment is those first conversations where we strive to understand what is important to our clients, what they want to achieve from a project and how we can help that happen.

  • TDO Architecture

    At TDO we share a belief that architecture can bring clarity amid complexity. Every project starts with an open mind, and we enjoy investigating and challenging conventions.

    TDO began when we were invited by Wallpaper* to design and make a contemporary doll’s house. This commission allowed us to develop our beliefs about simple forms, intersecting geometries and exposed materials – all of which have become part of the enduring language of our practice.

    We work on projects of all scales, looking at every aspect of a brief until we find clarity. Often it’s just one element that can really unlock a building. For our Fab House project with Urban Splash and Places for People, we made the most of the modular construction, revealing the timber beams which brought character, beauty and increased height to the space. For our new-build house on Old Church Street, we designed the arrangement and depth of the windows to respond to both the historic rhythm of the street and the internal spaces. And for The Modern House’s new headquarters, we created an unusually flexible workspace, with desks that can be adjusted, moved and reconfigured to make it a space with many uses.

    We’re drawn to these kinds of projects – projects which invite us to use our imagination, our energy and our skills.

    Our studio in Southwark is run by Tom Lewith and Doug Hodgson. Owen Jones, the third founding director, is head of design at MOBIE, an educational charity developing modern methods of construction. So we’re one step ahead when it comes to advances in off-site and modular construction – now an important part of our approach – and we positively enjoy putting our knowledge into practice.

  • The Klassnik Corporation

    Embracing unusual and challenging briefs, we produce work across a broad spectrum of disciplines and range of scales for private residential, commercial and local authority clients. The diversity of our projects creates productive juxtapositions in processes, problems and materials. As a practice we are particularly interested in the potential for architecture to communicate identity and intelligently resolve briefs whatever the context through an understanding and synthesis of cultural references, social context and technical feasibility.

  • Tonkin Liu

    The origin of each project grows out of the place it is sited, the people who will occupy it, and the culture that surrounds it at that particular time. This emphatic search for beginnings is set out in our book Asking Looking Playing Making (1999). The design methodology searches for archetypes that will inform the process of the project from inception, through completion, to the reading of the work.

    Mike Tonkin was educated at the Royal College of Art in London and Anna Liu was educated at Columbia University in New York, both qualified as architects in the UK. They came together in Hong Kong with an interest in dismantling current mythology and, through their observations, invent their own. Teaching and research have formed a vehicle for exploration over the last 15 years. The teaching at the AA School of Architecture 2001-2005 explored patterns of construction in nature and patterns of behavior in human nature.

    Tonkin Liu’s projects include award-winning urban regeneration schemes, buildings, landscape, and artwork. Each project is an exploration of our relationship to nature. Some projects celebrate changing weather and seasons, some evoke the power of nature as symbols, whilst others emulate natural form and performance, using lessons in nature to inspire pioneering construction techniques. Our preoccupation with nature informs our design process, whether through bio-mimicry or by using elements nature generously gives us for free. The search in each project brings to the fore a persistent interest in nature and human nature.

From inception to completion, our goal is to uncover the hidden potentials of a projects brief and context in order to arrive at a solution that is architecturally refined, when required disruptive, and always progressive. We strive to benefit people and places through stimulating projects that have a positive lasting impact.

  • vPPR

    vPPR Architects was set up in 2009 by Tatiana von Preussen, Catherine Pease and Jessica Reynolds, and is an award-winning practice known for bold designs that work intelligently in complex locations. Inspired by design from both the UK and the US, we believe that architecture can and should be brave through simple, honest clarity, while still responding to local history and context. We design buildings that find opportunities in constraints, responding with elegant yet striking forms that playfully negotiate between private and communal spaces.

    We work at home and abroad on projects that range from urban masterplans to private houses, from the cultural to the commercial. We find that universal principles can be applied across sectors, helping to reinvent building types to suit modern life. Housing is a passion and we not only deliver projects but also speak publicly on the subject and have been featured in major national exhibitions.

  • Waugh Thistleton Architects

    Waugh Thistleton was established in 1997. Nineteen years on we have established an international reputation for our beautiful buildings.

    We are dedicated to designing buildings that acknowledge their environmental impact and are deeply engaged with modern technologies for building in wood, particularly Cross Laminated Timber (CLT).  Since completing the landmark ‘Stadthaus’ project on Murray Grove in 2008, we have become world leaders in delivering CLT buildings demonstrating that this technology, originally developed for alpine huts, can support buildings across all scales and complexities.

    Designing buildings that are inherently sustainable by virtue of their construction allows us to also address context, scale, form and proportion in our work without submitting to the clichés of ‘hair shirt’ sustainability. Having established the use of these modern technologies in housing we are now intent on doing the same for the commercial sector.

  • We Made That

The relationship between local communities, development and creative practice is a particular focus of our work and we believe that – handled correctly – it can lead to enriched, exciting and engaging places.

  • WestonWilliamson+Partners

We enjoy seeing our projects through to completion; making them helps us to design better places.

    We value simplicity and elegance; what is essential to ensure the intelligent use of the world’s resources.

The cornerstone of our practice is our belief that good architecture should not just appeal on an aesthetic or economic level, it should also be forward-thinking and enhance the health and wellbeing of the end-user and the community it serves. Our approach integrates research and development, the use of innovative materials, a willingness to view problems from all angles, and a desire to deliver positive social impact.  Using our team’s considerable knowledge, skill and experience, we create beautiful and practical architecture that exceeds expectations.

    We also develop our own buildings and so in some cases we act as both architect and client. This gives us an invaluable ability to understand the client’s point of view and the construction process from every perspective.

  • Wright & Wright

    Wright & Wright was formed in 1994 by Sandy and Clare Wright, and has grown steadily since then. Stephen Smith  joined the practice in 2005 and became a partner in 2011. We limit our portfolio in order that the partners are involved in every project – they discuss each project, and often work together on them.

    We are committed to producing high-quality buildings. This requires persistence at each stage of the project. It begins with an understanding of our clients’ aspirations and continues via supporting them throughout the life of a project and beyond. We hope the fact that clients repeatedly commission us is evidence of our good work.

  • Yellow Cloud Studio

    Yellow Cloud Studio is a design-led London based architecture and design practice, undertaking large and medium scale projects throughout the UK and Europe. It was founded by Eleni Soussoni and Romanos Tsomos in 2013.

    The work ethos of the studio derives from the diverse architectural studies of its founders and their passion to explore new ideas, challenge stereotypes and improve the quality of spaces. The direct result is an architectural language that aspires to create a seamless symbiosis of form and function, using natural light and materiality as the main tools.

    The distinct character of our design derives from our philosophy to reveal the pure architectural form of each space, celebrating its strengths with natural and honest materiality and concealing its weaknesses with smart layout solutions.
