Welsh + Major

Welsh + Major has a reputation for creating delightful, practical and inspiring architecture. Our practice has considerable experience working on projects of varying scales and complexity, located in a wide range of environments. We are passionate about designing places, objects and spaces that are great places to be, feel wonderful to be around and that work flexibly and sustainably into the future. We are modern-ish architects. We consider our work with a broad modernist sensibility; using a rigorous approach that isn't constrained by the dogma of materials or austere functionality. We respond, rather than react, to programme and context, and where possible look to introduce an element of the atypical, the unexpected. We look for clarity in the process of making buildings and spaces. We are concerned about the social and environmental repercussions of how we make architecture, and how we might utilise our skills to explore ideas that challenge prevailing paradigms and consider things differently. We come from a variety of backgrounds and hold a range interests and skillsets. Originating from 4 continents, our team of 12 have wide ranging experience in residential, public, commercial, retail and hospitality, product design and master planning projects.
