Found Associates

This RIBA award-winning practice creates spaces that flirt with traditionalism and contemporary design, paying respect to the power of simplicity.

To embark on a collaborative journey with Found Associates is to depart from Pinterest trends and off-the-shelf design. Expect bespoke solutions, hair-splitting attention to detail, an unparalleled understanding of space and context. An impressive portfolio that spans luxury fashion brands, landmark cultural institutions and extravagant residences keep this firm on the front lines of innovation.

Set up by Richard Found in 1997, Founds Associates has become well-versed in the architectural process, from feasibility studies and planning through to snagging and handover. Notable work? A rotunda with radiating brass fins that wraps around the Saks Fifth Avenue in New York. A double-fronted Edwardian house in Chiswick, fitted with an immaculate pavilion. And, in Harrods restaurant, a theatrical lighting feature consisting of 1400 lamps that hangs above a rectangular white Corian lunch bar.
