Anomaly
Anomaly isn’t your run-of-the-mill architecture practice. We see ourselves as the outsiders in the best way possible; a collection of architects, designers and creatives who believe in challenging the most archaic aspects of traditional architecture.
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.

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.
