This is a small practice founded in
1993 whose members have experience of working with top contemporary
design firms in the UK and the USA. We have a good track record
of getting planning permission.
Being small we are flexible, focussed and cost effective.
We work very closely with clients to provide a detailed architectural
response.
Our designs are well-proportioned, with internal qualities
of space and light, while responding to the external conditions.
We strive to be as energy-efficient as cost and practical
considerations allow, and enjoy the juxtaposition of materials.
Celia Scott qualified at the Bartlett
and gained experience with Norman Foster, Yorke Rosenberg
Mardall and Castle Park Dean Hook. She worked for ten years
in the United States, gaining further experience with Henry
Smith-Miller Laurie Hawkinson Architects, as well as working
for her own clients. She completed a building for the Broadmead
Swimming Club, a Ceramic Studio and the Goldblatt House extension
in Princeton and became a member of the American Institute
of Architects.
Returning to the UK she was commissioned to build a new house
in Cambridge, and began work as Principal of Maxwell Scott
Architects. Her aim is to extract solutions from the particular
requirements of her varied clientele: the new house in Cambridge
was closely tailored to an old person and provides a setting
for her life-time possessions, while the Clerkenwell loft
was designed for a forward looking American couple who wanted
to experiment with a minimalist lifestyle. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and a member of the Green Register.
Robert Maxwell
studied at Liverpool University, where he met James Stirling
and Colin Rowe, and has combined a life of practice with
teaching. As well as being a Partner in Douglas Stephen and
Partners, he became Professor of Architecture at the Bartlett,
then Dean of Architecture at Princeton University, and is now
Emeritus Professor of Architecture at Princeton, and working
in London. He writes extensively on architecture, but can also
point to a number of built works in London, including flats at
Southwood Lawn Road, Highgate, and the river frontage of the
Royal Festival Hall. He combines consultancy and architectural
criticism.
