Mackenzie Wheeler Architects And Designers

Mackenzie Wheeler delight in creating places where people feel comfortable, happy and inspired. This might be at work or play, studying alone in a library or propping up the bar with friends. Wherever it is, it is about people, and their enjoyment, comfort and safety. Our design process begins at the micro level, encompassing furniture, equipment, space, light, acoustics, and materials, culminating in an interior. Progressing, we envelop this interior within a building structure, transitioning to the macro scale, integrating with the public realm and surroundings, be it urban or rural, ancient or modern. Each project initiates with a narrative, shaping and guiding its evolution, offering entertainment, enlightenment, remembrance (in historical contexts), and, crucially, a vision for the future. We believe in a narrative-driven approach, where form follows fiction, fostering emotional connections and community identity. This storytelling necessitates thorough research, analysis, and attentive listening, our most prized skill. We approach each project without preconceptions, allowing the narrative to guide our exploration, in collaboration with our partners, to realize and sustain the vision to fruition. We steer the narrative with our writing, design, and sketches, ensuring operational efficiency, program adherence and cost control, mindful of the commercial landscape. Our methodology has yielded successful outcomes, enriching both users and hosts alike. Mackenzie Wheeler, based in Shoreditch, London, specializes in various architectural endeavors, including new-build pubs, listed building residential projects, restoration, conservation, oak frame houses, Georgian restoration, education facilities, and master planning, showcasing a diverse portfolio of design solutions. We offer a dynamic team of architects and interior designers to guide you through your story, solving challenges, seizing opportunities, and creating enduring value for the present and the future
