Hayatsu Architects’ work is characterised by crafted, thoughtful, sensitive and playful approaches tailored to unique situations and the requirements of users. They believe in designing well considered, well crafted buildings that bring a positive impact on individuals and the wider community. The practice’s sensitivity comes from its in-depth knowledge of working with historic buildings. Former projects include Raven Row gallery in Spitalfields , George Romney’s Studio in Hampstead, South London Gallery in Peckham and Churchill College in Cambridge, all of which are listed.

Working in these settings, Hayatsu Architects have developed a unique insight into creating innovative and exciting spaces that are seamlessly integrated within their historic context through carefully crafted material interventions and the adaptation of hands-on construction methods.
