Our Practice

We are an award-winning RIBA Chartered Practice, with a diverse portfolio of projects across London, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire and Suffolk.

Atelier Brown are passionate about design, with every project representing an opportunity for us to help our clients in realising dream new spaces for their homes. We pride ourselves on being able to offer the dynamism and drive of a young up-and-coming practice, coupled with the expertise of a team who boast significant architectural experience - with our team having previously worked for a number of prominent practices across the country.

Atelier Brown provide a full architectural service for all types of domestic projects; from initial concept and feasibility design, all the way through technical development and onto contract administration and management of construction on site. We combine 25 years of architectural and construction industry experience within our team.

We bring value to any project through creative-thinking, a sensitive and considered approach to place-making and an extensive knowledge of how buildings are built in the best way financially, qualitatively and sustainably. We work hard to consistently deliver our work to meet timeframes of even the most fast-paced project. Our expertise lies in extracting joy and value from even the most complex of sites and buildings; whether that be by sensitively incorporating a complementary addition to a historic and listed building, or by imaginatively overhauling a home in need of thoughtful improvement.
