Richard Parr Associates

Richard Parr Associates describes itself as a group of “modern traditionalists”, pairing craft traditions with contemporary design intelligence. Founded by Richard Parr in the mid-1990s after his studies at the Architectural Association and international work across architecture and interiors, the practice now runs studios in London and the Cotswolds, working on residential, hotel and restaurant architecture in the UK and abroad.

Each project is read through context, landscape, people and materials, with the practice orchestrating collaborations between craftspeople, makers, contractors and conservation specialists. The result is architecture that aims at authenticity in both rural and urban settings, from country houses and hotels to restaurants, where the client’s experience of the process is treated as part of the design.
