Method Architects

Method Architects was established in 2010 with a mission to deliver the prowess of a large architectural practice while maintaining the adaptability, individual attention and minimal overheads of a smaller firm. This forward-thinking approach has proven successful, with Method's clientele expanding from dynamic private developers to esteemed London restaurateurs and leading housing associations in London and the South East.

The firm is known for its robust and enduring designs, which combine modern construction with the age-old desire for stability, security, and permanence. Method Architects' expertise spans over two decades in designing diverse environments, from premier restaurants to substantial mixed-use developments comprising 500 homes. The founders' skill in piecing together mixed-tenure projects and guiding clients through the complexities of site viability testing and planning permission attests to the practice's acute understanding of development's commercial facets and the equilibrium between investment, quality, and risk.
