Bryant Alsop creates architecture that is uplifting, beautiful and honest. Each project is personal and unique, shaped by the lives of our clients and guided by a belief that good design should enhance everyday living and endure over time. 

Founded in 2008, the practice brings together a collaborative team led by Sarah and Richard Bryant, with expertise across residential, education and commercial projects. We are committed to architecture that is thoughtful, refined and environmentally responsible. Every project is carefully considered, drawing on more than 25 years of experience to deliver design-led solutions that are both beautiful and functional.

Our design process is highly personalised and centred on building strong relationships with our clients. We guide and support clients through every stage of the project, from early concept to construction, ensuring the experience is clear, collaborative and well-managed.

We invite you to explore our work and discover how thoughtful, intelligent design can enrich everyday life.

Sustainable Design

At Bryant Alsop, sustainability is part of everything we do. We aim to create buildings that are efficient, comfortable, and enjoyable to live and work in, using strategies tailored to each site and climate.

Passive solar design forms the foundation of our approach, supported by a range of strategies tailored to each site’s conditions, climate and context. We work closely with specialist consultants to integrate sustainable solutions that reduce running costs, improve long-term performance, and create spaces that are both environmentally responsible and highly enjoyable to inhabit.

Site-specific sustainable design solutions we consider include:

• Passive solar design: orientation, sun angles, shading

• Window types, including doors, skylights and roof lights

• Glazing types (low-E & double glazing)

• Sun shading via pergolas, eaves, screens and use of foliage

• Building insulation to floors, walls and roofs

• Maximising cross-ventilation and air flow

• Landscape design to maximise green spaces

• Integration of pools to provide evaporative cooling

• Thermal mass

• Material selection: embodied energy, recycled content, recyclability, origin, longevity and durability

• Fittings selection: energy consumption, longevity

• Rainwater harvesting

• Grey water use

• Solar energy for power and/or hot water

• Geothermal energy for heating/cooling systems

• Zoning of spaces to allow for partial use

• Adaptability of designs to allow for changing needs of users over time
