ABOUT THE STUDIO
At Michael Hill Architects, our approach begins with our clients. Based in Surrey and working across London and the Home Counties, we create thoughtful, enduring architecture shaped by the people who use it and the places in which it sits. We specialise in bespoke residential projects, from new-build homes and extensions to renovations, retrofits and projects in sensitive or historic settings.
We believe the best architecture comes from close collaboration and a clear understanding of the brief, site and context. Natural light, materiality and the relationship between inside and out are central to our work, with careful consideration given to proportion, views, texture and the way spaces are experienced throughout the day.
We work closely with clients, consultants, craftspeople and specialist makers from the earliest stages of a project through planning, technical design and construction, ensuring that the quality and intention of the architecture are carried through to completion.
Through a collaborative process and a considered approach to design, Michael Hill Architects seeks to create architecture that is both distinctive and enduring.
