About the practice

At Gagarin Studio, we’re a friendly, client-focused team of architects and designers working across the North. We’re passionate about working with existing buildings and helping clients unlock their potential. Over the years, we’ve reimagined and remodelled a wide variety of projects, including buildings in sensitive settings and those with listed or heritage status. Sustainability is central to our approach, and we enjoy collaborating with clients who share our commitment to environmentally responsible, thoughtful, and practical design solutions. Our work spans a broad range of residential and non-residential projects — from one-off homes and housing developments to refurbishments and adaptive reuse schemes. We also have a particular interest in arts and cultural projects, working with many grassroots arts and community organisations. Our aim is always to create beautiful buildings and spaces that sit naturally within their context. We’re proud to be building a strong reputation for thoughtful, high-quality architecture, regardless of scale or budget. Above all, we believe that good design comes from close collaboration. We work carefully with our clients to create meaningful, well-crafted spaces with integrity, character, and lasting value. If you have a project in mind, we’d love to hear from you — get in touch for an informal chat.
