Business Details
We have been operating as Barbara Weiss Architects since 1987, providing over three decades of bespoke architectural excellence. Our practice is built on a deep understanding of each clients needs, refined aspirations, and the intricate processes from design to implementation. We obsess over plan form, proportions, light, and materiality, ensuring every detail is thought through to create wholly bespoke buildings. Our exceptionally personal service is founded on active listening, allowing us to steer projects confidently through every stage and decision point. We have cultivated longterm relationships with clients, contractors and consultants, many of whom have collaborated with us for more than twenty years. Repeat business and wordofmouth referrals remain the primary source of our new projects, reflecting the trust we inspire.
Based in London, we serve clients across the United Kingdom and internationally, including notable work in Los Angeles. Our team of ten includes a high proportion of women, a diverse range of nationalities, and even a parttime cocker spaniel, underscoring our collaborative culture. Since founding, Director Barbara Weiss has led the practice with an unwavering commitment to design excellence and a thoughtful approach to the built environment. We continuously engage in teaching, authorship, and professional advocacy, contributing to the wider architectural discourse and initiatives such as Women in Architecture. Our dedication to mentoring the next generation, through the Social Mobility Foundation and The Access Project, demonstrates our holistic commitment to client and community success.
