The Practice

Exceptional architecture is the product of great design and enlightened patronage. For this reason David Morley Architects seek out clients who will enable us to do our best work. After 25 years of practice, our projects have been consistently both evolutionary and revolutionary, building on tradition as well as creating prototypes for the future. A David Morley Architects project is a ‘natural consequence’ using both meanings: in harmony with nature and relaxed and unaffected. Our work is integrated, wherever possible using one building component to solve more than one problem and it’s based on a process of dialogue and communication to ensure every scheme is well focussed on delivering what each individual client needs. The success of this approach has been reflected in:

  • 100% record in securing planning approval and listed building consent;
  • Longstanding and on-going relationships with world class clients for example 9 projects for MCC at Lord’s Ground, 3 projects for developers Argent at King’s Cross, 3 projects for developer Urban Splash, 5 projects for the Royal Parks in London, 3 projects at Oxford University and 2 projects for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games;
  • Winner of over 50 design awards including Building magazine’s Young Architectural Practice of the Year and finalist for Architectural Practice of the Year;
  • Projects used extensively as exemplar case studies such as for the Passive Low Energy Architecture Conference in Cambridge  and the Building Research Establishment’s recent conference on shading in buildings.
  • A broad cross section of projects in sensitive locations ranging from the Hub in Regent’s Park to the Dickson Poon China Centre Building in the centre of an Oxford University College;

David Morley Architects are currently 50 strong, with a dynamic and energetic team of highly skilled and committed architects, designers and specialists. Value comes from a structured process of communication and dialogue, first to develop the brief through an iterative process, second to work with industry at an early stage to hone the most buildable design and third to measure and respond to feedback.

Environment

Integrating holistic sustainable principles in architecture was part of David Morley Architects founding philosophy. Our specialised in-house Environmental Team brings a focus to the office’s sustainable design expertise. The team offers experienced environmental design consultancy, including Code for Sustainable Homes, BREEAM and BREEAM Accredited Professional Assessment services.

This internal specialism allows us to offer BREEAM Assessment both as a standalone service to other Design Teams and as additional services on our own architectural projects, enabling streamlined input from the earliest possible design stage.  This has a particular benefit of ensuring that any early-stage BREEAM issues within the project are not overlooked, thereby maximising opportunities for our clients to achieve both a high quality of environmental design and the best possible assessment rating for the project. 

David Morley Architects recognise that as architects, our particular environmental influence extends to the buildings and environments we design, as well as covering those aspects within our direct control, in the running of an architectural practice and its premises. Our Environmental Management System is certified to ISO14001 for office management practices. A copy of our Environmental Policy is available on request.
