About
HoughtonBudd an architecture and design studio founded in 2005 by Jane Houghton and Andrew Budd.
Since its establishment they have worked almost exclusively on the adaptation and reuse of existing buildings, combining their shared interest in the careful and sensitive reading of both site and context with a commitment to the culture of architecture and the craft of building to create long-lasting, useful and sustainable contemporary architecture and design projects. They apply the same level of commitment to every commission regardless of its size, works ranging in size from small scale adjustments to private homes to new build houses and commercial developments, often in difficult planning contexts that require a careful response to their settings.
