Architect of the Week: Liddicoat & Goldhill

November 4th, 2016

This article is more than a year old and may contain information that is out of date. Sorry about that.

David Liddicoat and Sophie Goldhill are a husband-and-wife team. Their boutique architecture and interior design practice creates bespoke homes for private clients. Founded in 2011, the London- and Margate-based studio takes an artisanal approach to the assembly of their work. Although each house is truly individual – unique to the site and client – they are unified by the designers’ interest in the visceral experience of architecture and inhabitation.

Liddicoat & Goldhill were awarded an RIBA award and Manser Medal nomination for the hand-crafted ‘Shadow House’. The ‘Tailored House’ in Kensington won an RIBA shortlisting, while a prestigious Stephen Lawrence Award shortlisting and a second RIBA award came for the kinetic ‘Ancient Party Barn’.

The studio’s work has been widely exhibited and published in the UK and abroad with several of their models selected for the architecture room of the Royal Academy of Arts. The studio’s work is published extensively worldwide, and the Times and Telegraph newspapers have identified the firm among Britain’s leading house design practices.
