About us
Studio Mackereth is a London based practice of architects and designers founded by award winning architect Sally Mackereth. Our varied projects comprise both architecture and interior design, across a number of sectors including private, speculative residential, high-end retail and commercial projects of various scales for a diverse group of clients around the world.
Since the launch of the studio we have deliberately widened the parameters of our work. Our success in the discipline of architecture allows us to explore and enjoy the design of other subjects such as our own ranges of furniture, temporary exhibitions and installations. However, the main focus of the studio is still rooted in architectural projects with a clear emphasis on the seamless connection between the details that shape the architecture and the integral design and tone of the interior spaces formed within.
