As a design studio, we believe it is important to protect time for working together and discussing projects with clients and collaborators in a focused environment. We encourage our architects to respond to email and process administrative activities before 2pm each day, establishing studio time in the afternoon dedicated to design, dialogue and review. Please note that all architects remain available by phone throughout the day. David Chipperfield Architects is a proud supporter of the W programme and has through its partnership made a public commitment to equality and diversity in the practice.
