SZCZEPANIAK TEH

Szczepaniak Teh is an inquisitive team of architects and designers, based in London’s Soho, and working internationally. We create tactile environments that awaken the senses and uplift the soul, while rooting people in a particular place and the present moment. Our work encompasses architecture, interior design and brand identities. The studio’s projects across the world – from private homes, to new retail experiences, healthcare spaces and a climate conscious hotel masterplan – begin with rigorous research into the local context, culture and environment. We uncover stories about people and places to craft a compelling narrative that engages people with their surroundings. In each design, we consider how people will experience a building through touch, smell, sight and sound. This adds emotional and commercial value to what we create. Understanding our clients’ passions and ambitions is vital to our creative process. We listen and question before identifying how to encapsulate their values in physical forms, environments and branding. What unites our clients is a desire for the out-of-the ordinary. Our open-minded, interdisciplinary approach has helped us build long-term relationships; we take huge creative satisfaction in helping established businesses to grow and start-ups become market leaders. Our team shares a restless urge to experiment with materials and processes. We often reinvest our profits into self-initiated ventures that help us innovate and deepen our knowledge. In every project, we challenge our creative choices and the sustainability of our materials, while exploring how we can improve energy efficiency and the long term contribution of what we build to local environments. Every project by Szczepaniak Teh is a journey of discovery – one we share closely with our clients to bring richness and joy to every design.
