Nadia and Owen, where it started: Owen's kitchen table, 2014

Halden Studio · the founders

Two architects, one kitchen table.

Nadia and Owen met at architecture school in Sheffield, then spent ten years drawing parking lots and offices for big firms. In 2014 they left to design what they cared about: ordinary houses, made better.

The studio has grown to six people and a proper office, but every project still starts the same way, with a sketch at your table.

Nadia

Director, architect

Planning, budgets and the cities that say no at first.

Owen

Director, architect

The drawings, the details, and every biweekly site visit.

"We draw the first sketch by hand, with you, before anyone opens a computer."
