About the practice

vHH is a multi-award winning, design-led practice with people and sustainability at the heart of everything we do. Nothing sparks our creativity more than complex projects involving delicate sites, particular briefs, or creative adaption/reuse of old buildings. With over 40 years’ experience across all sectors, but mostly in education design, we deliver creative, energy efficient, high spec solutions. . Attention to detail, energy efficiency, craftsmanship and a preoccupation with materials, acoustics and daylight, are fundamental aspects of our design approach. These qualities are what give our buildings longevity and makes them enjoyable, stimulating places to be. In 2023 we were recognised for our work in sustainability , winning both the Net Zero Architect of the Year Award and the inaugural RIBA Regeneration Award. Our project procedures include using OneClick analysis to record the environmental impact of projects, and we regularly engage with UK Architects Declare, Camden Climate Change Alliance and ACAN (Architects Climate Action Network). vHH take a holistic approach to design; we believe the development of any site is as much about the spaces between the buildings, as the buildings themselves. We aim to design useful places of very high quality and have won many awards over the years that demonstrate that we fulfil this aim.
