Architect / Designer / Maker


Tom Parsons has a reputation for high quality innovative architecture, responding to tight constraints to realise the full potential of underappreciated spaces. All projects evolve through a 3d design process, pushing the boundaries through hands on making and collaboration with craftspeople.

Current projects include a new build house in Sheffield, a countryside retreat in Herefordshire and a Knitwear Designer's studio in Deptford.

Method


    Iterative design process involving physical and digital model making.

    Complex constraints are resolved into a response that feels completely 'together'.

    Designs revolve around a desire to bring natural light deep within buildings.

    Carefully selected materials to enhance the feeling of space.

    A hands on experimental approach to fabrication and construction.

Experience


    A growing specialism for innovative extensions and renovations at 'Oak House' and on site at 'Listed House' and 'Coast House' are complimented by experience on several new-build houses in rural Herefordshire and central Sheffield currently in the pipeline.

    The Tate Britain Pavilion was the first in a series of small timber structures, followed by 'Boat House' and soon a knitwear designer's studio currently at Stage 4.

    Tom has years of experience working in architecture from several years working at award winning architecture firms in central London.
