25 BUILD Q2 2024 In 2015, 101 Architecture+Design was established as an independent architecture firm partnering with luxury retail, residential, and landowner clients who share its commitment toward environmentally conscious, endurable, repairable design. Since then, the business has grown significantly, expanding across sectors such as transport, infrastructure, residential, and masterplan. Today, the firm serves a broad clientele across these industries, who are keen to try something new with the promise of consistency and reliability across their projects of all size and budget. Among its outstanding work, 101 Architecture+Design promotes the protection and re-use of ‘at-risk register’ and vacant buildings across London. Founded with a passion for the historic built environment, it always considers the context, story, and local community associated with each space, creating a respectful design that will last and be loved for years to come. In everything that it does, 101 Architecture+Design prioritises consistency and reliability, which it achieves by ensuring that a director oversees all stages of every project to ensure the utmost quality. With the built environment contributing significantly towards the UK’s carbon footprint, it is no surprise that architectural firms like 101 Architecture+Design are becoming increasingly driven by environmentally friendly practices. Sustainability is truly at the heart of the firm’s work as it strives to challenge the standard practice of construction by exploring the possibility that a lighter touch could benefit both clients and the environment. For example, it is working to make changes like reducing the use of steel, concrete, bricks, and mortar, introducing lighter groundworks, and increasing the use of innovative low-carbon composite materials to create the bones of its buildings. The firm seeks likeminded clients who are happy to dedicate part of their homes to reducing the impact of buildings and enhancing the health and wellbeing of occupants. Operating across multiple industries, 101 Architecture+Design is well-positioned to introduce proven modern standards and practices to new sectors where they are otherwise unknown or untested. For example, when it worked with Segro and Arcadis, the firm leveraged its experience in the high-end retail and office space market to modernise the heavily standardised and outdated methodologies commonly used in design and construction for the infrastructure and distribution sector. As a result, 101 Architecture+Design was able to carefully elevate the given concept without impacting the budget or increasing 101 Architecture+Design is an independent architectural firm that specialises in bespoke, high-end commercial and private developments, taking on projects of all sizes across the United Kingdom and the European Union.
