Nash Baker Architects

Established in 1978, Nash Baker Architects has a long experience dealing with London’s unique challenges, creating a wide range of solutions to suit unique contexts and our client’s needs. Being based in West London we are passionate about the city, and interested in the architectural complexities associated with it. However we are not exclusively London focused and we enjoy solving design challenges wherever they may be.

We believe the built environment is an important part of our heritage and value the influence it has on our daily lives. However, we also recognise that it has a huge impact on the natural environment, which must also be treasured. As architects, we are interested in finding solutions to minimise the environmental impact of our work whilst producing high quality design.

We take a pragmatic and long-term view on sustainable issues and do not encourage the use of green technology in a bolt-on way or afterthought. Instead, we like to take a holistic view to sustainable design; where the whole project is considered from the outset. We are keen adopters of the BREEAM Code for Sustainable Homes and the German Passivhaus standards that allow us to measure the performance of our designs and communicate the value they add.

Most of all we enjoy working with people. We believe that great design stems from an understanding of our clients; their aims, dreams and ambitions – their ‘brief’. And, it is through constant dialogue and feedback from our client’s and other professionals that the most innovative solutions are achieved. Our projects have been successful when the clients’ brief, the history and nature of a site come together to inform the design at every level.
