About
Material Works is an architecture practice based in London. Founded in 2018 by experienced and award winning Architects, we are dedicated to the creation of well crafted buildings and interiors that balance aesthetics and function. We have a deep understanding of both traditional and modern construction methods and have developed a portfolio of successful projects throughout London that marry the two. We approach each commission as a distinct narrative, developing designs with sketches and models to create bespoke solutions that satisfy practical demands and bring joy to our clients.
Following the successful completion of several private commissions, we completed our first commercial project in 2020 - the refurbishment and extension of 4,000 sqm of office space. We are now working on a diverse portfolio of projects ranging from residential refurbishments to co-work fit-outs, a high-quality eco home in Surrey and our first large scale new build starting on site in West London. On all projects we seek to add value and provide realistic and effective solutions. We work closely with our clients to ensure projects are delivered on time and to budget.

Since joining the practice in late 2021 Georgie has predominantly worked on proposals for a co-working space on the fifth floor of County Hall with a strong focus on sustainability - researching and discussing materials which are reclaimed, recycled or recyclable as well as the impact that the construction industry has on the environment.
