Studio\Woodroffe\Papa

We are an award-winning architectural and urban design studio with an international perspective and global reach. Our purpose is to re-imagine urban life, to rethink the places we build for people and create cities where people and positive cultures thrive. Established over 25 years ago, we specialize in delivering high-quality housing, affordable workspace, thoughtful place-making and sensitive urban transformation. And by working seamlessly between architecture and urban design, we continuously explore the notion that the spaces between buildings are just as important as the buildings themselves. We don’t have a pre-conceived style. We work closely with clients and stakeholders to turn tailor-made solutions into inspirational, built form. For us, every project is unique. We harness knowledge gained from working globally, offering clients a unique perspective of international best practices and an extensive experience in complex, integrated urban projects. Our openness to international collaboration with clients and consultants has enabled us to build a diverse and expansive network of trusted partners and colleagues to support our everyday activities. Dominic Papa and Jonathan Woodroffe - architects and the co-founders of Studio\Woodroffe\Papa - met while studying Architecture together at the University of Portsmouth. They began working together shortly after completing their education. For more than 25 years, they have been contributing to on-going transformation of the built environment in their role as architects, urban designers, writers, academics, and practitioners. Alongside running the business, they champion the importance of design quality in forums across London and Europe. Dominc and Jonathan are supported by a talented, multinational team who bring ideas and success to the practice by offering a range of skills, cultural backgrounds and experience to all our projects.
