SJW Architects Ltd.
RIBA chartered architecture practice working across London, Sheffield and the Peak District
We are an architecture practice working with private clients, developers and organisations on residential, commercial and community projects across London, Sheffield and the Peak District. Much of our work engages with existing buildings and sensitive sites – including heritage contexts and constrained plots – with a strong emphasis on early-stage design and planning, where decisions around form, structure and context are set.
As a small practice, we work closely with our clients throughout the process, developing projects through conversation and collaboration. We place particular importance on materials, technical design, detailing and interiors – considering how buildings are made, adapted and inhabited over time. Our aim is to create spaces that work well for those who use them, as this is fundamental to sustainable and long-lasting architecture.

Our approach.
Our work is grounded in a careful reading of place, brief and use. Through iterative design, collaboration and close attention to space, material and detail, we create architecture that is clear in intent, responsive to its context and shaped by the rhythms of daily use.

What we do.
We provide architectural services tailored to the needs of each project, from early feasibility and planning advice through to delivery on site. Our work includes full architectural services and interior design, developed either as an integrated part of the architecture or as a standalone commission.

Who we work with.
We work closely with private clients, developers and organisations who value good design and want to create spaces that have a positive impact - on people, place and the environment. Much of our work engages with existing buildings and shared or sensitive contexts, where architecture must respond carefully to context, fabric and use. We support projects from early ideas through to planning and delivery.
