ao-ft is a London based architecture office dedicated to design, construction and education. Our projects are developed by creating personal experiences that connect individuals with their surroundings through function and material. We design these spaces and objects in relation to the architectural aspects of context, economy, and fabrication with the intent to enhance the well-being of those who inhabit them. As a practice, we pursue architecture that links the cycles of nature with the built environment. ao-ft is a RIBA Chartered Practice.
