INTRODUCTION
Working in close partnership with our clients, we have delivered a remarkable range of high profile buildings, totalling over 2 million sq ft to date.
Consistency is our watchword; it is the consistency of our design quality and our client service that makes our clients work with us again and again. This is allied to our understanding of the wants and needs of building users and ability to translate this into effective design solutions.
Our approach is simple. We put people at the heart of the design process and create buildings that meet our clients’ objectives and provide exciting and inspirational spaces for those living and working within them. This has enabled us to deliver more than two million square feet of new and refurbished space over the last decade.
From the re-engineering of Ralph Erskine’s iconic Ark in Hammersmith to the design and delivery of the Warner Bros Studios and ‘The Making of Harry Potter’ Studio Tour, our work is characterised by our willingness to ‘go the extra mile’ to deliver the right solution for our client, the site and the ultimate users.

About Us
About dn-a
We aim to create exciting buildings and spaces that reflect our clients’ needs and personality, while respecting site and context
After many years in large practices, we founded dn-a to pursue our own brand of architecture, one which combines creativity with pragmatism, client service with minute attention to detail.
We have built a team that shares these values and believes that the process of creating a building as part of a team should be both rewarding and fun. We enjoy working together as a studio to discuss inspirations, generate ideas, then develop and test these against the brief from our clients and the needs of the users of the finished building.
The studio is of a size that means the Directors continue to be ‘hands on’ – from the earliest stages of a project, through construction and completion and beyond. The relationships that we have built with our clients, fellow consultants, contractors and within our team are the foundation of our approach and our success.
