Our team had a great time at Cundall’s Whole Life Carbon CPD last week! We came across interesting low carbon concrete products at the talk as we research new sustainable materials across our portfolio. All in all, an insightful event! Back to News

RUFFARCHITECTS had the absolute pleasure of attending the private viewing of the latest Noah Davis exhibition at the Barbican Art Gallery, a space we proudly retrofitted. Davis' work beautifully captures everyday moments, where Black life and modernist aesthetics come together in a deeply poetic way. A really inspiring and thought-provoking exhibition we throoughlly enjoyed last night. Always great to revisit the gallery we upgraded in 2019, enhancing this iconic Grade II listed space ahead of David Chipperfield’s Lee Krasner retrospective. Proud to have played a part in ensuring the gallery continues to host world-class exhibitions. Back to News

Following our recent quarter catch-up, we are excited to dive back into our values as a studio. RUFFARCHITECTS is constantly looking for ways to keep up with industry demands, implementing the latest technologies and staying at the forefront of ambitious design. One of the many ways we have been doing this is through the use of recycled steelwork on Greenway Lane in Bath. We are eager to see the result our sustainable materiality as the project progresses on site. We look forward to sharing more about our ethos as a team over the coming weeks, as we continue to tackle 2025 with intention, drive, and innovation! Learn more about RUFF ARCHITECTS here.

Had a lovely time in Cork with CField! The team explored the Glucksman building and then made its way to experience the contemporary young Irish artists exhibition. It was great to spend some time in this leading creative establishment, all while surrounded by (slightly rainy) Irish charm! Back to News

Last month, we enjoyed taking part in the Breakfast Briefings series with Cundall. It got us thinking about the challenge of balancing sustainable investment with leading new builds vs. refurbishment projects. There were many useful takeaways that the RUFF team will be interrogating as we continue to champion sustainability in our designs. Back to News

We believe that sharing experiences, professional and otherwise, is part of our collective studio responsibility. Learn more about RUFF ARCHITECTS here. Back to News

Much to learn from CField's latest lean construction adoption on a 700 timber home scheme. Daily trade work planning allows site teams to coordinate their processes to improve efficiency and minimise construction waste. RUFFARCHITECTS believes all members of the design team should be adopting quality assurance measures for best practice and as a result, the best buildings! Back to News

This International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating the amazing women who make up 80% of our team at RUFFARCHITECTS! A moment to reflect and recognise the achievements and involvement of women in architecture and construction - GO TEAM! Back to News

At RUFFARCHITECTS, passion is at the heart of everything we do. Every detail, every design choice, and every project is driven by creativity, care, and a commitment to excellence. We believe that great architecture goes beyond just buildings - it’s about thoughtful craftsmanship, innovation, and creating spaces that inspire, endure, and have a positive impact on our clients and users. Aesthetics and ethics are inseparable in our design process. From concept to the smallest details, we refine and perfect every element, ensuring our designs are functional, beautiful, and sustainable. We’re focused on creating buildings that stand the test of time - prioritising longevity, adaptability, and the health of our planet. Using sustainable materials, energy-efficient solutions, and promoting recyclability, we aim to reduce our environmental impact while maximising the value of every design.

An insightful workshop hosted by Publica this week! Our team had the pleasure of taking part in the first of their ‘Right to the City Night Walks’, guided by artist Louisa Tan. It was an incredible evening of conversation and collage making, all centered around how to make the night safer for women and non-binary members of the public. We are super excited to be attending more workshops later this month and cannot wait to see how Publica and the City of London move this important research forward Back to News
