What Drives Us
A London and South Oxfordshire based architectural practice delivering design across the UK and internationally in the residential, civic, government, corporate, ecclesiastical, infrastructure and hospitality sectors.
A RIBA Chartered Practice, the studio is made up of ARB-registered and RIBA Chartered architects and designers alongside Part I and Part II professionals, with a track record on delivering complex projects including leading multidisciplinary team, varied planning approvals, development-led strategic sites, Grade I, II* and II listed buildings and Green Belt sites. We stay in lockstep with our clients through to delivery on site.
At the heart of the practice is an unwavering dedication to exceptional service, through a relentless work ethic, open-minded strategic thinking and intelligent design - keeping our clients goals in mind at every stage. We view good design as an iterative process which is grounded in context and investment value: a considered balance of creativity, technical expertise and strategic foresight.
Practice structure
The practice is led by Managing Director Joshua Harrison. Design is co-led from the senior team - Michael, whose work centres on space configuration and residential conversions, and Anderson, educated at the University of Texas at Austin, the Architectural Association and MIT. Architects Veronica and Anna carry commissions through RIBA stages 0–7, supported by Part I architectural assistants, a BIM assistant and an in-house structural engineer, with RTPI planning consultants retained alongside.
We are energetic and talented architects, designers and a structural engineer - creative, ambitious and focused. Clients are a fundamental part of every project, and that dialogue runs from first feasibility sketch to practical completion.
Importantly, Joshua brings together architectural thinking, strategic planning and commercial viability to unlock our clients' sites. This approach has resulted in significant economic value being added to sites where others looked in a different direction, or simply failed at the last hurdle.
We would be delighted to explore the solutions you do not yet know exist for your site.
Michael has worked closely with Joshua for over five years. They are highly familiar with one another's working methods and understand how to play to their respective strengths to develop strong, well-resolved solutions together.
His previous experience also includes working with other established architectural practices across the country, bringing a broad base of technical and design experience to the studio.
Since joining he has become adept at producing technical details, working across a suite of software to bring together several disciplines and is confident meeting and liaising with consultants and clients alike.

Selected experience
We have a high success ratio in achieving planning permission, including in the scenarios others avoid: Green Belt, Conservation Areas and listed properties from Grade II to Grade I. But our experience is far deeper and extends to complex multidisciplinary work involving various sectors, clients and construction technology. We also use the latest software and incorporate BIM throughout a projects lifecycle.
