Founded by architect Alex Nikjoo, London-based architecture practice and interior consultancy Nikjoo prides itself on creating adaptable design solutions that flex with the demands of everyday living. With a roster of both private and commercial clients that includes a school, private homes and a world-famous department store, the firm is as adept at conjuring up a temporary installation as it is in transforming an ex-mission-house-turned-home-studio.

User experience is paramount, as is the idea of future-proofing a space, and Nikjoo always has the long game in mind. ‘We do this by creating buildings and spaces that can adapt over their lifetime to the changing needs of their current and future occupiers. Feeding into our commitment to improving the environmental and social fabric, through a circular economy approach for each project we undertake.’
