About the practice

Adam Knibb Architects is an award-winning architectural practice based in Winchester, recognised for creating high-quality contemporary architecture that responds sensitively to context, client aspirations and the wider environment. Founded in 2011 by director Adam Knibb, the practice is driven by a clear ambition to design buildings that enhance everyday life through thoughtful, sustainable and carefully crafted architecture. The studio specialises in bespoke residential architecture, with a portfolio spanning one-off houses, developer-led housing schemes, extensions, refurbishments and ancillary buildings such as pool houses. Each project is approached individually, with designs carefully tailored to the characteristics of the site, the brief and the people who will inhabit the spaces. The practice’s contemporary design language often incorporates sculptural forms, natural light, sustainable materials and refined detailing to create spaces that are both functional and uplifting. Sustainability is embedded within the design process from the outset. The practice seeks environmentally responsible solutions that improve occupant comfort, reduce whole-life costs and contribute positively to the built environment. Through careful orientation, material selection and energy-conscious construction methods, projects are designed to perform as well as they look. The team combines creative ambition with practical expertise and values close collaboration with clients, consultants and contractors throughout every stage of a project. This considered and personal approach has led to a growing body of widely recognised work and multiple industry accolades.
