We are Whittaker Parsons, architects who build less and design better. We make our buildings well, with worth and foresight.

Based in east London, we help homeowners, likeminded developers, cultural, commercial and third-sector organisations to solve space problems and build with balance. Our work ranges from pavilions to private homes, community centres to concept stores, all of them the product of a principled, resourceful approach.

We make well. We find healthy and progressive materials, optimise the way they are put together and build with great technique to make buildings loved by their users and communities.

We find worth. Our experience shows us that the best buildings unfold from a bespoke and enjoyably energetic design process where every person’s views are valued, all opportunities are uncovered, and we get the very best out of the resources we use.

We see further. We build the kind of architecture we’d like others to build too: future-facing projects where the architects are more broadly accountable for their actions, and lean, pragmatic, beautiful buildings that last longer, use less – and feel just right.

We are a RIBA Chartered Practice and proud signatories of Architects Declare & RIBA Climate Challenge 2030.

The practice was included in the prestigious Architecture Foundation's New Architects 4 publication and Shortlisted for Building Design's Young Architect of the Year Award 2023.
