Hugh Broughton Architects

Forward thinking design led practice, based in London but with a worldwide reach. Our creative practice has developed an award winning portfolio rooted in the cultural, institutional, industrial and public sectors. We like to develop long term relationships with our clients, helping us to understand their needs and make valuable contributions to their businesses. From the outset we strive to understand the needs of our clients and the ways in which they work. This is achieved by extensive brief taking and consultation. We believe that, whilst the practice of architecture is an intellectual pursuit, to achieve physical meaning it needs to be rooted in commercial reality and pragmatism. Our approach requires us to exercise the lateral thinking abilities of an architect to the full, taking us into new territories, exploring new forms of construction and drawing upon the full breadth of available technologies. Our creative designs are characterised by a sensitive, contemporary architecture of calm and flowing spaces, enriched by meticulous attention to detail and occasional moments of drama. We believe that our transparent, clean, light and airy architecture is uplifting to the spirit. Our practice has been built around a core of very experienced architects who have worked together for many years and who understand each other's strengths and skills. Our work is carried out in a friendly, lively and financially secure atmosphere. Our team spirit allows us to quickly adapt to changing situations. This flexibility lies at the heart of our practice.
