Profile
Featherstone Young is an award-winning architectural practice headed by Sarah Featherstone and Jeremy Young, founded in 2002. The practice is recognised internationally for innovative and inspiring architecture, and for bringing design ingenuity to civic and community projects, new-builds and heritage renovations.
The practice is evolving development strategies and new housing typologies for rural settlements, most recently with VeloCity, a reimagining of the 21st century village, which won the National Infrastructure Commission’s Cambridge to Oxford Connection competition (2017). It has also earned a reputation for building exemplar modern housing in rural settings, taking cues from the local context, among them Stonecrop, Rutland (2019); Jack Windmill, South Downs National Park (2017) and Ty Hedfan, Brecon Beacons (2010).
Other recent built works include: Tŷ Pawb arts venue in Wrexham, Wales (2018); Waddington Studios in London (2015); installations at Central St Martins, University of the Arts London (2014); and Dellow Arts and Activity Centre for a homeless charity (2011).
The practice has won numerous awards including the prestigious Eisteddfod Welsh Gold Medal in Architecture for Tŷ Pawb, which also won a Civic Trust Award and the Architects' Journal Retrofit of the Year Award in 2019.
Featherstone Young combines teaching with practice: Sarah teaches on the MA Narrative Environments course at Central St Martins, University of the Arts London (UAL), and is a visiting critic and external examiner at various UK architecture schools.
