About us
Studio Mackereth is a London-based practice of architects and designers founded by award-winning architect Sally Mackereth.

However, the 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 tone of the integral interior spaces formed within.
