31/44 Architects is a London-based architectural practice headed by Will Burges and Stephen Davies. 31/44 refers to the practice’s two studio locations in both the Netherlands (Amsterdam) and the UK (London) when founded in 2010. The practice is now based solely in London.
Projects range in scale from strategic masterplanning through to smaller scale residential work. Built works include: Wenslauer House, Amsterdam; No. 49, Lewisham; and Red House, East Dulwich. Projects in development include: a new hotel and workspace on a site which includes the former Whitechapel Bell Foundry, east London; a barn conversion in rural Norfolk; and several new-build residential developments of different scales for both private developers and private clients.
The practice featured in The Architecture Foundation’s New Architects 3, a survey of Britain’s best emerging practices from the last ten years (published in 2016) and was included in Wallpaper*s 2016 Global Architects Directory. Recent award wins include RIBA London and National Awards 2017 for No. 49 and a RIBA London Award 2018 for Red House. Red House won the British Homes Awards Manser Medal 2018 and is shortlisted for the RIBA House of the Year 2018 and for the Stephen Lawrence Prize. Will Burges and Kate Nicklin also teach a design studio at Kingston School of Art and Architecture.
