Obiter Architecture

Our story

We are London-based architects with more than 10 years of international experience in both residential and commercial projects. We have a visceral passion for what we do, and the critical thinking to challenge, push and question architectural norms, and the world around.

We understand regulations and possess good historical knowledge, which allow us to question often-limiting planning policies and achieve results that defy the rule-book. We listen to and actively communicate with our clients. We shape their thoughts and guide them through the design and building process to reach a clear understanding and ensure each idea is executed to its full potential.

With projects across the UK, Italy, Croatia and Bosnia Herzegovina, we apply a contextual understanding to our practice. Context is important and must be considered, yet it shouldn’t be restrictive. Hence we push against both blind traditionalism and careless innovation.

We believe in a holistic approach versus isolation. Creating a dialogue between the outside and inside, private and public, solid and void. Each project is considered from top to bottom, side to side, front to back. We resist pure aestheticism if decontextualized and unrelated to the spaces we build. Images and drawings can be limiting and should only help to explore, explain and aid the building process.

We understand intimacy and allow theatre of everyday life. With the growth of cities and the rise of technology, we seek humane and artistic quality in each of our projects, exploring their ability and potential to further the relationship between the manmade and natural world.
