Liddicoat & Goldhill is an award-winning architecture and design studio.

Our portfolio ranges from high-specification houses to charity-funded community projects to urban planning.

We are passionate about creating better living in the city through beautiful, sustainable, bespoke architecture. We are disappointed that new buildings don't often reflect life's peculiarities. Current technocratic obsessions and a fetish for formal novelty hide a lack of emotion.

We were born into Thatcher's free market, and trained during the late New Labour property boom: we are wary of the cult of newness. Ecological and economic pressures necessarily mean we must learn to live with less. We are also conscious of time's editorial privilege. So, we are trying to be modest in our ambitions, and are learning architecture as a craft.

We have set out to learn by doing.
