Studio

A network, not a single desk.

D4B Studio is an architectural practice built as a network of architects, researchers and building-industry specialists. Established partnerships let the studio combine disciplines, and the practice keeps looking for more efficient ways to design.

The aim is inspiring, well-made space: better places to live and work, through sustainable design, regeneration, and less waste.

Rapid prototypes and feasibility studies, using current technology, let several options be seen before a direction is fixed. The offer runs from help with objectives at pre-concept stage, and second opinions, through to complete design and project management.

Clients range from large organisations to people in the building industry. The studio also works with estate agents, development and facilities managers, investors and landlords.
