Ashley Hinchcliffe Studio is an RIBA chartered architecture practice based between London, Norfolk and Manchester. We design buildings that belong within their environment in which our clients live, work and explore. We carry out projects across a range of scales from buildings to temporary installations and furniture.
The studio focuses upon the materiality of each project and aims to empower crafts and workmanship by collaborating with local suppliers and workshops. As a result, each project seeks to respond to its unique local context.
We have strong social and environmental values that underpin our design approach. We believe that well-designed, sustainable buildings can influence the way we live and our relationship with the environment surrounding us.
