Richard Griffiths Architects gives new life to old buildings, conserving them to reveal the heritage of the past and adapting them to enrich the present and the future.
-
We have established a leading reputation for the repair and creative adaptation of historic buildings to accommodate new or extended uses, and for the design of new buildings that respond sensitively to their historic context. In all its work, Richard Griffiths Architects remain true to the creation of a timeless architecture, in which style derives from materials, use and construction rather than from the whims of fashion.

We have carried out award-winning projects to historic houses (Sutton House, Burghley), public buildings (Clissold House, Eastbury Manor), schools (Bedales, Brighton College), churches and cathedrals (Southwark, St Albans), as well as major renewal projects to derelict buildings (London Dock, St Pancras Hotel). We have also acted as heritage consultants advising on the creative juxtaposition of historic and new buildings in run-down inner urban areas (Oxford Castle and the Kings Cross Regent Quarter).
