Akin is an architecture and design studio based in London and working across the UK, with a wide range of experience in designing buildings and spaces for living. Akin works at various scales; from bespoke furniture to renovations and additions to existing buildings, and sustainable new build houses.

We are committed to design which is specific to place by exploring the found conditions of an existing interior, building and/or site. We make connections by looking at the history, local construction language, landscape, as well as the social and cultural setting. This process allows us to make characterful, timeless yet contemporary projects which complement and reinforce the qualities of a place.

The studio approaches sustainability from both a technical and pragmatic position. We have a certified PassivHaus designer in the team with a breadth of experience in creating ultra-low energy buildings. We combine this with more traditional and rational approaches whilst being as resourceful as possible.

We believe that good architecture is a collaborative process, and we fully engage with clients throughout the whole project to develop the design until it is right. We listen carefully to our clients’ ideas and needs to create spaces and environments which are well crafted, lasting, light filled and comfortable.
