Fieldwork Architects is an architecture and interior design studio based in London, founded in 2018 by architects James Owen and Tim Gibbons. The practice centres on material exploration and contextual design, approaching each project as a specific response to place, brief and the people who inhabit it.
Their methodology combines research, experimentation and craft, drawing equally on digital tools, physical models and technical development. Ongoing research and learning are central to the studio’s process, with each project understood as an opportunity to expand capabilities and carry knowledge forward into future work.
Fieldwork operates across all stages of a project, from concept through to construction, delivering new-build homes, renovations and bespoke interior design. The studio’s approach is rooted in a collaborative practice that brings together multiple disciplines and forms of expertise to produce architecture that is precise, context-sensitive and carefully crafted.
Prior to founding the studio, both architects developed their careers within leading British practices. Tim Gibbons worked at Foster + Partners, where he became an associate, while James Owen collaborated with studios including Foster + Partners and Pollard Thomas Edwards, contributing to residential, cultural and hospitality projects.
