About the practice

Brightblue Studio are a hybrid architecture studio and glass workshop. Our passion for sustainable design is evident in every space we create. We believe that the best architecture emerges from the integration of good design with social and environmental responsibility, which fuses with our experience as a working glass studio to create cutting-edge and inventive solutions to our clients' needs. Brightblue was originally established in 2004 and is based by the sea, in a building which is also an exemplar of the work we do. Currently undergoing renovation work, Ballard's Smoke House makes the most of its orientation and location, using sustainable design and materials aiming to achieve Activhaus standard. It represents a strong connection with the environment which is at the heart of the practice. Brightblue has been recognised by the LABC, being highly commended for the Best Domestic Conversion/Extension North East Building Excellence Award, and by Art in Context with their award for the Cut Glass installation in Ireland's National Botanical Gardens. They have also been selected for numerous prestigious large-scale sculptural art installations in buildings. For more information, visit us at www.brightbluestudio.co.uk
