David Kohn Architects is a London-based practice established in 2007, working internationally on arts, education and residential projects.

Excellence in design is pursued through collaborating closely with our clients, consultant teams, contractors and end users. Innovation is cultivated through office-based and academic research into carbon reduction, reuse and the cultural contexts of each project.

David Kohn Architects is currently delivering major projects for New College Oxford, developer Lendlease, Stephen Friedman Gallery and the Province of Limburg, Belgium. Past projects include the Red House, the Design District, the V&A Photography Centre, A Room for London in collaboration with artist Fiona Banner, and an award-winning restaurant at the Royal Academy of Arts.

Notable international competition wins include the new Smithfield market halls for Birmingham City and Lendlease (2020), an apartment building in Berlin for developer Euroboden (2018) and a new architecture faculty for the University of Hasselt in Belgium (2018).

David Kohn Architects has built a reputation for the quality of its design, winning the Manser Medal, RIBA House of the Year, World Interior of the Year, Architect of the Year, RIBA, D&AD, Design Museum Designs of the Year, New London and Condé Nast awards. The practice was nominated for the Iakov Chernikov Award recognising ‘young masters of contemporary architecture for the best architectural concepts.’
