Austin-Smith:Lord LLP

Austin-Smith:Lord has been delivering the highest degree of creative and practical thought in architecture since 1949. Our celebrated history has given rise to many buildings of national importance, and over 150 awards and commendations for outstanding architectural and environmental design. We’ve worked on over 2500 projects in that time, during which we have grown into and worked from no less than 21 buildings, calling on some 29 partners. We were founded by two people, Mike and Inette Austin-Smith. Today we number 5 partners and 50+ employees across five locations within the UK.We are a multidisciplinary practice, something reflected in the broad nature of our client base. We provide architecture, urban design, landscape architecture, interior design and conservation services to a very wide range of clients, and this variety in itself is a constant fund of new ideas, possibilities and inspirations across the Practice. All things are connected, and so being able to effect change across the full range of architectural disciplines provides the scope to deliver further-reaching work. That we win a high volume of repeat business through this work and the manner in which it is done, and a similarly high volume of new business through word of mouth, tells its own story.
