Ackroyd Lowrie

Based in London, Ackroyd Lowrie establishes a distinct visual identity through heavy brick bases topped by folded metal upper volumes and stepped, geometric rooflines that bring deep shading and soft light into multi-family housing and collaborative workspaces. This portfolio serves as a concrete precedent when resolving the material transition from rigid masonry podiums to articulated metal facades, or when specifying integrated sunshades and full-height textiles to manage daylight in dense urban settings.

Open plan studio workspace with white brick walls and shared desks by Ackroyd Lowrie.

Space for wellbeing
