Architecture for London is an British architecture practice based on sustainable principles.[1]. It was founded by architect and Passivhaus designer Ben Ridley in 2009[2].
It is an RIBA chartered practice, and employs Passivhaus and EnerPHit standards in order to employ what it describes as a Healthy Homes[3] approach.
The firm initially focused exclusively on smaller scale private residential work, including the Highbury House Extension in London[4].
It has since extended its focus to larger scale projects, including low-energy commercial buildings and housing developments as well as continuing to renovate[5] and design private homes. The practice is best known for developing historical homes and older buildings[6] in order to make them energy efficient[7].
Awards and recognition[edit]
Architecture for London was chosen in 2015 as a finalist for the NLA Don’t Move Improve Award[8] and the AJ Small Projects Award[9]. In subsequent years the company has also been shortlisted for further awards including the AJ Retrofit Award[10], Architizer A+ Awards[11] and the BD Housing Architect of the Year Award[12].
In 2018, Architecture for London was a finalist for Building Design’s Young Architect Of The Year Award (YAYA)[13], the Dezeen Awards[14], and the Blueprint Awards Best Residential[15]. They were also a finalist in 2019's London Construction Awards[16] and selected for RIBA Practice of the Month in 2021.
In 2022, the practice was a finalist for the AJ Small Projects Award[17] and received a commendation at the AIA Design Awards[18]
