About
We are a studio of architects, interior designers and researchers, fueled by a shared passion for materials, form, technology and craft.
We believe that, at its best, architecture can provoke memories, shape experiences and prompt change. Across scales and typologies we follow the principle that intensive thought and problem-solving at the design input stage leads to an intensity of effect for users and the public at the built output stage.
Our work exists in historic, sensitive and iconic contexts - both urban and rural - and the same attention to detail and commitment to design integrity is present no matter the scale: from cutlery to city. But whilst the process is consistent, the results are unique to each context and set of conditions.
Working closely with engineers, consultant teams and clients, we have honed our expertise in reuse, retention and re-enlivening existing structures. As a studio, we have historically been motivated by the potential of combining advanced digital design and fabrication technologies with traditional materials or forms - a thread of investigation that has significant applications in the search for sustainable and climate responsive architecture.
We are based out of a studio and workshop in London where interdisciplinary teams work together in a collaborative ‘design house’ model. The studio is a place for exchange, active production and the testing of ideas, forms and materials.
In 2022, Piercy&Company became an employee owned trust, solidifying our approach as a design house and amplifying our collaborative endeavours. We believe that the immeasurable is as valuable as the metrics. And that design should not only look good but feel good.

Piercy&Company is a practice of more than 80 architects, designers and researchers working together in a studio designed to support our shared passion for materials, form, technology and craft.
Careers
We are always looking for talented, ambitious individuals to join our team at all levels. We actively encourage applications from women, the LGBTQ+ community and people from ethnic minorities, as these groups are currently under-represented throughout the building industry. Piercy&Company is an equal opportunities employer dedicated to closing this gap and aims to build a workforce of skilled professionals from a range of diverse backgrounds.
