STUDIO/gather is a young engaging Chartered Architect studio based in West Cornwall, founded by Julian J Mills. We are a small, but growing team of architects.

​

We operate in a collaborative manner, looking to create timeless designs that enact joy and pleasure through both the process and the end result. Each project is approached through a similar fine-tuned creative exercise that explores the site's setting, local materials and design context along with clients' individual wants and needs. This forms a basis for an architectural output that is crafted, is beautiful, stands the test of time, and fulfills more than just a noted brief. 

 

‘ ...collaborative designing to blend the essential lifestyle needs with the extraordinary. Using the natural setting to inform a crafted beautiful approach. While threading sustainability through the fabric of the project.. '

 

The practice is built around an ethos of sustainability with our project architects having this in their DNA;
