The studio is also a product designer, creating and manufacturing building systems for emerging design and technology challenges. It offers a creative and diverse studio environment and a commitment to developing the next generation of architects.
Benjamin Champion joined the SNHA London studio as a newly qualified architect. You can hear his conversation with Stephen Drew on the Architecture Social Podcast in the linked CPD lesson.
The London studio of around 15 people works in a collaborative environment, with everyone in the firm actively involved in the design details and in the day-to-day planning and execution of each project. The team relishes the detail inherent in the work and constantly seeks to refine both its design solutions and the tools used to communicate them.
A focus on detail and craft, close collaboration across the whole studio, and a continual drive to refine design solutions and the tools used to deliver them.
Sheehan Nagle Hartray opened its London studio in 2017 to design mission critical facilities that combine a keen awareness of clients' business needs with innovative design solutions and a practical understanding of construction requirements. The practice is part of the wider Woolpert group, and its work has been recognised with Distinguished Building Awards and Interior Design Awards, and published in Engineering News Record, Architecture, Architectural Record and Fast Company.
