William Smalley established his own office in 2010. He previously worked as Associate at James Gorst Architects for over five years, where he gained wide-ranging experience including working with listed buildings, in conservation areas, sensitive contemporary additions to traditional buildings, and on projects ranging from individual items of bespoke joinery to a 200 acre hotel development. Of particular note was a 6,000 sq ft new build house in London, one of only a handful of large, architecturally ambitious contemporary houses built in London since the second world war, shortlisted for the 2010 Manser Award for Best New House in the UK and winner of a 2010 RIBA award. Featured in Monocle and the Architects’ Journal.
His work seeks to draw on this experience to create memorable spaces of strong materiality.
