Profile
London architectural practice Eldridge Smerin was established in 1998 and has since relaunched as Eldridge London. Architect Nick Eldridge’s vision continues to inspire the design and material quality of the practice’s recent projects in the UK and abroad, having been defined by a series of cutting-edge houses. The practice’s first completed project, ‘The Lawns’, a house for Sir John and Lady Frances Sorrell, won RIBA Regional and National Awards and was shortlisted for the RIBA Stirling Prize. The House in Highgate Cemetery won RIBA Awards and was shortlisted for the Manser Medal (House of the Year) and the Stephen Lawrence Award. The House in Epsom also won an RIBA Awards and was again shortlisted for the Manser Medal (House of the Year). The practice has won the Building Design Architect of the Year for One Off Houses, and was a finalist in both Blueprint and FX Magazine’s Interior Designer of the Year awards.
Aside from the well known residential work, the practice has also completed a number of high profile retail, commercial and cultural projects including interiors for Selfridges Birmingham, Villa Moda Kuwait, O2’s Mobile Applications Development Centre, the Design Council Headquarters, The Business and Intellectual Property Centre and a restaurant at the British Library and the Globe Theatre’s Sackler Studios. The practice demonstrates a consistent approach to producing intelligent and unique solutions to specific client briefs and often constrained budgets with an unerring attention to detail from concept through to completion. Eldridge London has a sister practice ‘Eldridge Newlyn’ located in Cornwall with a focus on housing prototypes and design in sensitive landscapes. The two studios enable the practice to operate effectively across the whole South Coast of the UK.
