About the practice

Studio Bark is an award-winning architectural practice with a passion for outstanding environmentally-driven architecture. We deliver bespoke and often ground-breaking buildings which are inherently contextual. Energy modelling and life-cycle assessment is a core part of the process: our work seeks to be beautiful - environmentally and aesthetically - reflecting the age of the climate and ecological emergency we live in. Our portfolio of built work encompasses residential, commercial and community projects with a particular specialism in bespoke homes. We have a successful track record, securing planning permissions for ambitious designs on challenging urban, suburban and rural sites across the UK. We have extensive experience delivering projects through Paragraph 80 (an evolution of the ‘country house exception clause’) of the National Planning Policy Framework.
