Powell Tuck Associates

Spanning urban and rural contexts alike, Powell Tuck Associates are visionaries with a penchant for detail and sense of the unexpected.

Founded in 1990 by Julian Powell Tuck, and now headed by Adrian Lees and Angus Shepherd, the studio boasts a wealth of collective experience – creating highly creative and functionally innovative buildings. The practices’ senior associates, Steve Appleby and Hugh Mackay, elevate Powell Tuck’s vision further, channelling a passion for idiosyncratic design in every home.

Sustainability is at the core of every project they undertake. Designed to stand the test of time, their materials and energy systems prioritise the reduction of their carbon footprint.

Thoughtful details and high design rigor are hallmarks of their practice, evident in a North Kensington project on Barlby Road. There’s a timelessness to the home’s quiet style; materials are tactile and organic but thoroughly urban and considered design balances space, light and form. Lightwells, skylights and vast picture windows diffuse light, creating synergy between the indoors and out.
