Haworth Tompkins Architects

What our work has in common is a set of values rather than a stylistic signature: civility, professional responsibility and sustainability in the widest sense are the underpinnings of our creative output. The combination of small, close-knit studio teams 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. We pay close attention to the specific chemistry of individual places and cultural situations, seeking to understand both the context and possible future life of our clients’ buildings - a process which often yields original or unconventional design solutions. As a practice and as individuals a sense of social purpose is a key driver for the work that we do. We have over 25 years’ experience of collaborating with socially driven organisations and clients who share the belief in our responsibility to create spaces for people and communities and not for the profit of the few. We undertake research with this agenda though LSE cities programme and in house, sit on advisory groups for ethical and sustainable development, and support New London Architecture, Heart of the City, and the Architecture Foundation.
