Stiff + Trevillion Architects

Stiff+Trevillion makes elegant, human-centred architecture that stands the test of time. Their work is confident, unpretentious and tasteful, using simple materials in a painterly way to sit with poise within its context. Architecture is an inclusive, social profession: they work with clients, artisans, builders and bureaucrats to create tangible, three-dimensional outcomes.

There are around 65 people in their busy, friendly, west London studio. To reflect the breadth of their portfolio, Stiff+Trevillion share a wide range of skills. Their team not only includes architects, but also technicians, modelmakers, visualisers, interior and product designers. They believe design can deliver change. In the face of the climate emergency, their best action as architects is to make that change through their work, building on the fundamentals of volume and light, minimising waste and putting the existing fabric first.
