Hugh Broughton Architects is a forward-thinking design led practice who create remarkable buildings fit for the most complex and challenging circumstances.
We are based in London, but we work worldwide.
From resilient structures able to withstand Antarctic ice and winds to contemporary interventions which preserve and enhance historic landmarks for generations to come, our success comes from a truly collaborative approach honed over decades of working with multi-national and multi-disciplinary teams.
Our creative designs are characterised by a sensitive, contemporary architecture of calm and flowing spaces, enriched by meticulous attention to detail and occasional moments of drama. We believe that our transparent, clean, light and airy architecture is uplifting to the spirit.
Our empathy with context and sensitivity to the environment underpins our design approach. For us, responding to and supporting the natural environment is as important in old buildings as it is in state-of-the-art science research bases in remote locations.
HOW WE WORK
“Hugh Broughton Architects has established itself as a leader in creating innovative designs for challenging environments and historic contexts. With a small but dynamic team, the practice delivers projects that balance technical ingenuity with aesthetic sensitivity. The firm demonstrates how a focused and collaborative team can achieve remarkable results. Taken as a whole, their oeuvre combines cutting-edge solutions with a respect for context, creating spaces that are both resilient and inspiring”
Architizer A+ Awards (2024), ‘Best Small Architecture Firm in the World’
Whatever the challenge, we combine a pragmatic understanding of the constraints and challenges of every project - economic, physical, environmental and cultural - with our commitment to an inclusive, sustainable and equitable world.
We believe the best contemporary architecture should delight audiences with an inspired marriage of light, form and flowing spaces enriched by meticulous attention to detail and judicious moments of drama.
We like to develop long term relationships with our clients, helping us to understand their needs and make valuable contributions to their businesses. Our approach requires us to exercise the lateral thinking abilities of an architect to the full, taking us into new territories, exploring new forms of construction and drawing upon the full breadth of available technologies. Above all, our team spirit allows us to quickly adapt to changing situations, because flexibility lie at the heart of our practice.
