About the practice

alma-nac is a London-based architecture studio established in 2010 by Chris Bryant, Caspar Rodgers and Tristan Wigfall. The practice has built a reputation for its imaginative yet pragmatic work. Named as one of AJ’s 40 under 40, alma-nac has recently won Education Architect of the Year 2025, Behaviour Change Campaign of the Year at the Edie Net Zero Awards 2025 and a finalist in the Net Zero Architect of the Year Much of alma-nac’s work focuses on the reuse and reimagining of existing spaces to provide more sustainable design solutions. The practice recently completed Dulwich College library, a Net Carbon Zero project and have completed many retrofit projects including Paxton House, for which the AJ Retrofit Housing award was received. Central to alma-nac’s work is a participatory approach; exploring the positive impact of meaningful engagement with clients and end users. In 2023, in collaboration with other built environment professionals, alma-nac launched Design for All (www.designforall.uk), a support programme for small charity and community groups to get their building projects off the ground. Since then we have run this annually with our partners, benefiting 7 different charities so far.
