[A]SQ. / Our Story.
​
Founded in 2020 by our co-founding directors, we are architects + interior designers based in London, UK + Nicosia, Cyprus. We are a young, energetic + innovative Chartered Practice with considerable range of experience on projects varying from award-winning gymnasiums to masterplans, luxury residential + boutique hotels.
At [A]SQ. Architecture we are not led by a single design ‘style’ that we implement into every project. Instead, we have a style of working: one that is less about us and more about you. We pride ourselves on having a very personal approach, taking time to understand how each project will be used + lived in. We believe that working together to create exceptional places + spaces, we can make a positive + inspirational contribution to society + future generations.
We are especially interested in the connection between architecture + humanity: an architecture of experience + place-making. As designers, our role is to ensure cohesion
+ connectivity by bringing together nature + human activity with architecture + urban elements. This creates a design narrative that connects communities with their context by encouraging them to engage.
