Daniel Statham Studio was founded in London by Daniel Statham in 2007. The practice has won international competitions as well as direct commissions in Asia, Europe and the United States and built and collaborated on over 50 projects in a variety of sectors. The diverse international body of work includes arts and culture, commercial, educational, hospitality and leisure and residential buildings and spaces for both the private and public sectors.
We have offices in London and Shanghai, providing architecture, interior and urban design services from concept to completion. Our design approach is characterised by evolving an aesthetic responding to the geographical location, cultural context and heritage. This results in an aesthetic driven by a rigorous design approach that is unique and appropriate to each individual client commission and budget.
We explore the unique potential of every client brief with a relentless focus on refining design ideas to arrive at a solution which responds to the brief and is architecturally, socially, and intellectually coherent. Achieving this through is a combination of collaboration, innovation, technology and traditional model making to communicate the design to the client and consultant team.
The practice also has had many collaborators within the arts, music, fashion and technology including Vivian Rosenthal, Chris Lee & PC Music, Ben Turner & DJ Richie Hawtin, IPCN founder Rebecca Yang, Langlands & Bell, Juan Munoz, Marc Quinn, Burning Man and Live Nation’s Electric Daisy Carnival.
