About

Clare Nash is the founder and director of Clare Nash Architecture, a small practice working across Oxfordshire, South Northamptonshire, North Buckinghamshire and South Warwickshire.

A RIBA chartered architect with a master's in vernacular architecture and regeneration, Clare set up her practice during the last recession and has grown it to a team of six. The studio is known for barn conversions, eco homes, listed building work, self-builds and small residential developments, with design rooted in the local vernacular and a strong focus on sustainability.

Clare is the author of two books, including Contemporary Vernacular Design: How British Housing Can Rediscover its Soul (RIBA Publishing), and runs The Business Space, a peer mentoring group for architectural business owners. She joined the Architecture Social Podcast to discuss what it really takes to run a small UK architecture practice, from cash flow and fees to marketing, niching and growing a team.
