We are a creative architecture studio with extensive experience in residential design

A little bit about us

Forgeworks is a RIBA Chartered practice specialising in new houses, extensions, and retrofits. We work with homeowners and developers to create buildings that are innovative and modern with a distinct sense of character.

The studio was established in 2021 and is led by studio director Chris Hawkins from our offices in London and the South West. Chris has over 20 years’ experience in the construction industry spanning residential, cultural, workplace and community projects, including the Stirling Prize nominated Olympic Velodrome.

We know that great design can unlock the potential of any building and have a huge impact on your enjoyment of your home. Inspired by both vernacular and contemporary architecture, Forgeworks’ projects combine expressive forms and spatial problem-solving with thoughtful use of materials and a unique crafted identity.

Forgeworks is experienced in sourcing and working with skilled tradespeople and consultants to deliver high quality design and value at any scale, and has a proven track record of success obtaining planning consent.

Naturally collaborative, we enjoy getting to know our clients and understanding what they want and need from their home. From initial conversations through to final delivery, we will involve and support you through the process - ensuring your design brief is translated into a beautiful building that works for you.
