About the practice

POW architects view the practice of architecture through a wide-angle lens. Understanding – and being active across – the full project spectrum, from pre-concept to post-completion, helps us make architecture, better. We are equally adept at working in close-up, engaging with the specific challenges that each aspect of the process presents. We are an emerging studio with big-practice expertise. Our office is a place for trading intelligence. By fostering an atmosphere of sustained learning, we build on our successes and keep improving through research and innovation. We enjoy un-poetry. That is, buildings which are elegant as much for the way they are put together as for the way they are drawn. We achieve this by adopting a practical perspective, applying smart technical thinking in a purposeful way. We sit on your side of the table. We value partnership and co-operation, and approach every project as a shared adventure. Such adventures thrive on honest exchange, and for this reason POW directors are closely involved throughout. We are available and answerable
