David Kohn Architects

David Kohn Architects is a London-based practice established in 2007, working internationally on arts, education and residential projects.

Excellence in design is pursued through collaborating closely with their clients, consultant teams, contractors and end users. Innovation is cultivated through office-based and academic research into carbon reduction, reuse and the cultural contexts of each project.

David Kohn Architects is currently delivering major projects for New College Oxford, developer Lendlease, and the Province of Limburg, Belgium. Past projects include the V&A Photography Centre, developer Euroboden’s new offices in Berlin, A Room for London in collaboration with artist Fiona Banner, and an award-winning restaurant at the Royal Academy of Arts.

The practice has a track record for creating bespoke houses and interiors for creative clients. Over the past 15 years David Kohn Architects has worked closely with clients from the art world, delivering new homes for artists, curators and collectors. The Red House, a new rural house completed for a London gallerist with an extensive collection, won an RIBA Award in 2022 and was described in the press as “a building rich in incident and ideas”.

David Kohn Architects has built a reputation for the quality of its design, winning World Interior of the Year, Architect of the Year, RIBA, D&AD, Design Museum Designs of the Year, New London and Condé Nast awards. The practice was nominated for the Iakov Chernikov Award recognising ‘young masters of contemporary architecture for the best architectural concepts.’

The Modern House Says
"A young practice that's going places because of its ability to transform interiors as adeptly as it can build new structures, with a particularly strong sensibility when it comes to pattern and colour."
