About the practice

The Oval Partnership is an international group of architects, urbanists, designers and researchers, actively engaged in researching and promoting sustainability, place-making, narrative-based planning, heritage conservation and community development. Among the many sectors we serve we are especially well known for our mixed-use urban-scale projects and our ability to conjure a richer and more engaging experience and an enhanced sense of community, activity, and place. The London studio can handle projects at all scales, from private residential commissions to major urban regeneration. We are adept at the conceptualisation and communication of complex spatial propositions, often in historically sensitive locations. Through director Jonathan Pile we have a particular interest in self-build and one-off houses and other residential projects on both urban brownfield and rural sites.
