About us
We are an award-winning and friendly boutique architecture studio based in London, with projects across the UK and beyond. Our highly motivated team design with kindness and empathy, working closely with clients and consultants to improve lives by enriching the physical world around us.
Designing with kindness and empathy
Driven by a shared commitment to all forms of sustainability, we work with developers, schools, estates teams, charities and private clients on projects that affect positive change.
We are highly skilled at unlocking opportunities at sites of a range of scales. Our responsible design philosophy prioritises simplicity, offering elegant solutions that reduce waste, lower energy demand and limit CO2 in both construction and use.
We excel at working with often unconventional sites to deliver development. By skilfully interpreting constraints into favourable designs, we have a significant success rate with planning applications in Green Belt areas, conservation areas, national parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), the countryside, and listed and locally listed designations.
We are accredited Passivhaus designers and are chartered by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) to offer a full architectural service, from initial ideas to detailed design and contract administration during construction. We enjoy problem-solving through design and providing honest and considered support to all stages of the process.
History
e-gg began at the end of 2018 as a collaboration between architects John Edwards and Guillermo Marijuan Guimera, who had previously worked together and share a love of music, football and the sea.
Building on previous experience gained at award-winning practices, our sole ambition is to have a positive and meaningful impact on the world around us: doing our bit to help people live healthier, happier lives.
For us that means designing solutions that empower and inspire, reduce waste and encourage a stronger relationship with the natural environment.
Our Studio
We are a team of enthusiastic and highly skilled architects and architectural assistants who enjoy making things better. Based in Farringdon, we believe in the power of in-person collaboration and so work together in the studio as much as possible. Ours is a caring community that allows voices to be heard and ideas to be shared.
A paperless studio, we blend digital technology with physical model-making to explore the opportunities that each new project presents.
