Feilden Fowles

Feilden Fowles is an award-winning London-based architecture practice, founded in 2009 by Fergus Feilden and Edmund Fowles. The practice specialises in delivering socially and environmentally sustainable buildings across a variety of sectors, and aims to make architecture that is rich in character and distinct in identity.

Their projects often interpret historic, cultural or vernacular references to generate clear concepts with a legible diagram. Structural integrity and tectonic expression drive the detailed design process to deliver buildings that are at once robust and well built. Current commissions include the Fratry Project at Carlisle Cathedral; the ongoing strategic masterplan for Ralph Allen School, Bath; a new dining hall at Homerton College, University of Cambridge; and student accommodation at Green Templeton College, University of Oxford.

Built works to date include arts and cultural buildings, educational projects, heritage, workplace and residential. Examples include: Charlie Bigham’s Food Production Campus in Somerset; The Lee Centre, a £1.75 million Applied Learning Centre at Ralph Allen School in Bath; the Fitzjames Centre, Hazlegrove School; the London headquarters for watch brand Uniform Wares; and Waterloo City Farm, where the practice’s new award-winning studio is located.

The work of the practice has been recognised with a number of awards, including RIBA Awards in 2018 for Waterloo City Farm and Charlie Bigham’s Food Production Campus; Commendation in the New London Awards Mayor’s Prize 2018 for Waterloo City Farm; 2017 RIBA London Awards and 2017 Wood Awards winner for Feilden Fowles Studio; 2014 RIBA National Awards and 2015 Civic Trust Awards for The Lee Centre, Ralph Allen School. The practice received the inaugural Young Architect Award in the American Institute of Architects (AIA) UK Excellence in Design Awards in 2015 and BD’s Young Architect of the Year Award 2016.
