Our Ethos

As architects, we abide by the Code of Conducts laid out by the Architects Registration Board (ARB) and the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA).

We also firmly believe that what we do - making bold, crafted, unexpected buildings and objects - we can give real meaning, and make a real difference, to our built environment, and our everyday lives.

We have therefore put down our working principles here that guides our every decisions as architects, designers, makers and collaborators with our clients, consultants, and contractor teams.

1. Polysmiths design everything collaboratively, ego-free.

In Chelsea Mews House, we worked very closely with the Client, who has a vision for a Japanese-inspired interior.

2. Every project as an exploration into how materials are put together.

Cork House uses a seldom-used building material - cork - for the cladding, resolving issues related to increasing construction costs, as well as enhancing the buildings sustainability credentials.

3. Polysmiths are keen listeners and observers of the world, its people and cultures.

In Arch House, we started on the project through listening to our clients’ background, and incorporating their Mediterranean heritage into the design narrative.

4. Polysmiths make buildings and objects that move you.

In Walden, we worked hard to discover new ways to bring light deep into a basement apartment flat renovation. The results is a light-filled home, with a high quality of light that is soulful.

5. Polysmiths design boldly - with a confident and clear vision.

In the Urban Collective boutique hotel project, we worked with the Client to turn a concrete-frame office building into a tactile, warm, grand hotel interior, filled with textured and sustainable materials. This bold approach creating the ‘wow’ for its users.

6. Polysmiths challenge the norms to create works that is unexpected.

In the Bloomsbury Boutique Hotel project, as the client is seeking to balance sustainability credentials with protection of the Listed Building fabric, a new form interior room divider design was proposed.

7. Polysmiths build because we are optimists who believe the future will be better.

That is just who we are, eternal optimists.

8. Polysmiths approach design with humour, playfulness, and love.

The South Kensington art gallery project requires a high level of care when working with a Listed Building, and creating a neutral space for the artwork and the original building features to shine.
