Paper House Project is a young, vibrant architecture and design studio that is passionate about exceptional design. We are founded on the belief that our collaborative nature and the journey we take with our clients is reflected in every project by creating exciting, functional, modern spaces to be experienced.

Influenced by every-day living, we blend clever design with commercial awareness, working closely and openly with clients and contractors towards a common goal; to improve the places we eat, sleep, work and play. We don’t think sustainability should be a special design feature, but rather a fundamental idea that informs every decision we make. Our moods, well-being and happiness are all shaped by what surrounds us. This is why we believe that anything is possible when we design.

We are passionate about devising innovative, functional and modern spaces to ensure our clients feel a sense of place and ownership. Experimental, brave and enthusiastic to the core, we feel it is crucial to delve into the detail from the start in order to deliver in the end. Our hands-on approach to design, working within budgets, pushing boundaries and creating the unexpected - creates remarkable spaces.
