An award-winning London-based architectural studio specialising in residential retrofit, mid-century houses, tailored commercial spaces, and new-build homes.
After training at The Bartlett School of Architecture, Margaret Bursa and Johan Hybschmann founded Archmongers in 2013. A material-driven studio, they design with a commitment to integrity. The durability of concept and materials demonstrates their approach to sustainability and placemaking – values that have underpinned the practice’s work on many of London’s landmark modernist buildings, sensitive sites and listed properties.
Among number award-winning projects is the Little Brownings in London’s Dulwich Estate which won the overall award in Don’t Move, Improve! Awards in 2022. Commercial projects include retail space Captured by on Columbia Road (2016), the fit out of Eastern Biological, London’s first independent natural history gift shop (2017), and offices for digital branding company Bakken & Baeck (2021). Recent projects include the full refurbishment of a Grade II listed maisonette in the Trellick Tower; and the renovation of director Johan Hybschmann’s house in east London. The practice is currently working on a new-build coastal property in Broadstairs, Kent.
While projects range in scale, each one meets its clients’ needs by focusing on the context of each space and the people who occupy it.
