Established for over twenty years, Studio Sam Causer is an award-winning, RIBA-accredited Conservation Architecture practice specialising in adapting complex and sensitive situations.

​

We relish working in multi-layered historic environments, bringing a philosophical rigour to our interventions backed up with astute understanding of the way materials and humans behave in changing circumstances. We enjoy that each generation through time leaves an architectural legacy which speaks of available technologies, experiences and other cultural influences, and love how buildings and the environment grow and adapt accordingly. What comes now may not look or behave like what has gone before, but everything needs to work well together.

 

Alongside our small but experienced team we collaborate closely with structural engineers, cost consultants, contractors and clients, as well as with artists, choreographers, film-makers and academics, together producing a rich and broad practice centered on the act of making spaces to support life.

​

We’re committed to understanding the environmental and social impact of our buildings, and whilst everybody has a responsibility to form good relations with our environment, the architect is well placed to balance the physical and temporal elements that together create spaces worthy of our collective capability. Our studio values the careful research of buildings and sites, understanding the layers of change, and relating the physical fabric at micro and macro scales. From the scale of pegs and mortar to towns and fields, we use this historic and material analysis to inform and respond to future change.
