James Gorst Architects was established in 1981 and for over forty years they have collaborated with their clients to realise their architectural ambitions as they change over the course of a lifetime. They provide a uniquely tailored architectural service encompassing all of your properties from listed townhouses and apartments in the world’s capitals to large, contemporary residences in the British countryside and beyond.
Their considerable experience in gaining planning permissions and consents for challenging sites has allowed them to produce some of the largest new residences in the United Kingdom alongside the refurbishment of the Royal Exchange in the City of London and the construction of a new Orthodox chapel on the island of Mykonos, Greece. Through these exciting projects, they have earned a reputation for sensitive and highly crafted work, which is technically sophisticated and rigorously detailed. They rely on a trusted network of professionals and craftsmen to deliver the highest quality of workmanship.
They have an established reputation in the world of furniture and interior design and they regularly collaborate with artists and textile designers. In their view, a sensitive approach towards the subtle intimacies of the interior is as important as the ability to handle the challenge of architectural form. Their approach is to build a close relationship of trust and collaboration with you as their client to produce award-winning architecture and interiors.
