> Of is an architectural studio working in London and Seoul. We operate across scales and sectors, collaborating with public institutions, charities, developers, designers and private individuals. We are concerned with the full capacity of architecture.
## About the studio
Of Architecture (also known as Studio Of) is a practice founded on the belief that architecture holds a full and distinct capacity — not merely as a technical discipline, but as a cultural, social and spatial one. The studio works at every scale, from intimate domestic interventions to larger civic and institutional projects.
With bases in London, UK and Seoul, South Korea, Of brings a cross-cultural perspective to every project. The studio is fluent in the planning and regulatory contexts of both the UK and South Korea, and collaborates with clients who value architecture that is careful, considered and rooted in its context.
The studio works with:
- Public institutions and cultural organisations
- Housing developers and housing associations
- Private residential clients
- Designers, makers and small businesses
- Charities and community organisations
