our studio _
we are __ is an architecture studio run by Andrew and Jack - two friends, colleagues and collaborators who believe the best projects come from honest conversation and mutual trust.
We met during our master's and after working in several practices across the UK joined forces at our previous practice. After a difficult period during the pandemic we had the opportunity to do something we'd talked about for years: build a studio around the values we care about - clarity, collaboration, and doing good work with good people.
We work across residential, retail, commercial and conservation projects - but the common thread is always the same: thoughtful, well-executed design that feels right to live, work or trade in.
we keep things simple, avoid jargon, and stay involved from start to finish. We don't hand off projects halfway though - and we don't hide behind a front desk. When you work with we are _, you're integrated into the team.

what drives us _
- we take our work seriously, not ourselves.
- we like buildings with personality and clients who want something purposeful.
- we will tell you what's possible, what's risky and what we'd do if it were our budget.
- we believe trust is the foundation of any success build.
Who we work with
We collaborate with homeowners, independent business owners, developers and fellow consultants. Whether it's your dream house, your next investment or your flagship retail space - we approach every job with the same level of care, quality and attention
we are _ is more than just a name, it reflects the way we work: as partners, not just professionals. We're here to help you get it built, and get it built well.
