TYPE
TYPE is an award winning architecture practice founded in 2013 by directors Matt Cooper, Sam Nelson, Tom Powell and Ogi Ristic. The practice is based in London and works throughout the UK and in Europe.
We pride ourselves on the highest level of design and customer service. We are a deliberately small practice, allowing us to choose our projects carefully and giving the directors full knowledge and control of all aspects of every project. Our service is highly personalised; the main point of contact for every client is a director, and that director will typically do the majority of the work on that project. As a result, most of our work comes through recommendations and completed projects.
One of the key drivers for TYPE is recognition of architecture’s responsibility to the environment and the public. TYPE seeks to minimise the consumption of energy and resources, enhance ecology, and strengthen the social value and inclusiveness of architecture. TYPE aims to create an architecture which is expressive of its time and responsive to its environment, one which celebrates light, freedom and nature through simple and robust materials and a clarity of structure and form.
Redhill Barn was the practice’s first significant project to complete and received widespread acclaim, it has been awarded; RIBA National Award, RIBA SW Award, RIBA SW Conservation Award, finalist in RIBA House of the Year, winner of the Emerging Practice AIA UK awards, and shortlisted for the Manser Medal.
