Archer + Braun are a RIBA and RIAS chartered architecture practice based in London and Edinburgh that undertake projects across the UK. Founded on a mutual passion for approachable, contemporary and contextual architecture, Sarah Braun and Stuart Archer have worked on a variety of projects for public, private and commercial clients.

Through a shared interest in sustainable construction, they met at Waugh Thistleton Architects, a world-leading practice in this field that was recently nominated for the Stirling Prize. Their own practice has remained deliberately small, ensuring that clients work closely with the directors to receive the best possible service. They are skilled at guiding them through the entire construction process and have a great track record obtaining complex planning permissions, including extensive experience working in National Parks, Conservation Areas and with listed buildings.

The practice is adept at designing at various scales, from one-off houses to conversions and extensions, from bathrooms and kitchens to construction detailing, and even bespoke furniture and fittings. Their elegant handmade wooden mirror, PFH, is well suited to contemporary interiors and is available through Coexistence. Archer + Braun’s architecture is well crafted, timeless and materially rich. They have been recognised for this in international press, including the New York Times and a recent nomination for BBC Scotland’s Home of the Year.
