31/44 Architects

31/44 Architects 31/44 Architects is an RIBA Chartered architecture and design practice located in London and Nantes. We make these connections in a number of ways.

Our 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. We look at history, neighbouring buildings – what they are made of and how they are built – the street pattern, urban form, and the cultural and social setting. When we have looked carefully for clues on how we may in

troduce a new building we overlay the specific requirements of our project. This results in buildings that are finely tuned to their future use and introduced to their setting with care and consideration. These connections can happen on many levels, from the scale of the city through to a precise construction detail. They can be direct or quite abstract. Ultimately we hope that they enable a new reading of the building in relation to its site and that we enrich what we find.

31/44 have taught an undergraduate studio at Kingston School of Art and Architecture since 2010. The constant articulation of ideas, observations and proposals required in the teaching studio is an essential discipline that continues to help define 31/44.

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.

Painted Gables, North London

Images & Models: 31/44
Drawings: 31/44

A consented proposal for a specialist care facility of seven apartments and communal social spaces. The new building replaces a dilapidated, poorly converted house in this north London suburban street. The architectural language embraces the thinly applied qualities of its mock-Tudor neighbours with facades conceived as painterly reliefed drawings formed of colour and simple, delicate timber detailing.

No.49, London

Photos: Anna Stathaki
Drawings: 31/44

This house, on an infill site in south-east London, was built by one of 31/44’s directors – his second self-build within the same street. Externally, the house purposefully has a significant visual mass – to assure permanence and define a more formal mass against the ad-hoc assembly of fences, walls, and mews and garage buildings that line this side of the street; a sense of permanence more in-keeping with the Victorian terrace that faces No.49 across the street.

31/44 x 2023: Recently consented on the edge of Glasgow, we found figure and form in the adjacent 1980s mass-developer suburban housing… when the local planning team asked us to 'make it more like the houses next door.’
