About Studio Linear Architects
Studio Linear, An award-winning practice, was founded by husband and wife, steven & Ilze whom have collective experience in Residential, Retail, Office, Education, Mixed Use, Aviation and Transportation projects. In 2022, Clare Smith joined the practice to add her experience of Hotels, Interior Design & a strong background in Sustainability to the studio’s portfolio. Projects range in size from £20,000 to £1 Billion, but regardless of size and value, they pride themselves in attention to detail. Every project is treated as unique and is given the utmost attention. This results in quality design and delivery at every scale.
With experience from working in award winning Architectural practices over the last 17 years, such as ‘Hix Architects’ (South Africa), ‘Sprunt Ltd’ (London), ‘MSMR Architects’ (London), ‘HOK International’ (London) and ‘EPR Architects’ (London) we have developed a keen eye for detail and quality design both in Architecture and Interiors.
We aim to respond to the clients’ specific needs whilst advising them of other options and inspiration along their initial brief. We insist that the client must be involved through the project to achieve the best and most creative interpretation of their brief.
Design quality comes from finding the cleanest, simplest solution to each individual problem. This achieves beautiful Architecture that radiates simplicity.
