31/44 Architects

31/44 Architects studio was founded in 2010 by Will Burges and Stephen Davies, and are based near Brick Lane, east London, with a satellite office in Nantes, France, led by Benoit Sanson. Their projects seek to connect the historic, cultural, spatial and material qualities of a place with the intent to complement and reinforce the particular conditions of their setting. Projects are characterised by a thoughtful response to context, conceived not in isolation, but growing instead out of the particular conditions of each setting.

Projects range in scale from strategic masterplanning through to smaller-scale residential work. Completed projects include a mixed-use retail and hotel building in Shoreditch, a number of one-off individual homes around London and a family home in the Netherlands.

31/44 have recently been recognised with a number of awards and nominations, including: The Manser Medal, RIBA National and Regional Awards, and a nomination for the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture Mies van der Rohe Award.

The Modern House Says
"A young firm with an impressive roster of elegantly detailed private houses, often utilising rectilinear forms and brick as the primary material."
