Eldridge London

Ethos

Nick Eldridge founded Eldridge Smerin in 1998 and the practice was renamed Eldridge London in 2015.

Eldridge London has built a reputation for producing intelligent and memorable solutions in response to varied clients’ briefs, and is particularly renowned for one-off houses.

The practice’s approach challenges conventions and creates innovative environments whilst committing to producing buildings that are environmentally responsible.

Eldridge London’s work is typified by sophisticated detailing, an abundance of natural light, an inventive engagement with site context, rigorous attention to detail, the subtle integration of technology and a refined material character.

The practice works across the UK and internationally, and from the scale of a 50,000 ft2 house in Moscow through family houses and extensions in Greater London, down to the design of pieces of furniture and fittings. A sister practice, Eldridge Newlyn, is based in Cornwall focussing on cost-effective housing prototypes and design in rural environments.

The practice has won numerous awards including RIBA, Civic Trust, regional design awards and British Homes Awards. We have been shortlisted for the Stirling Prize, the Stephen Lawrence Award, the Manser Medal and the London Building of the Year Award. In 2017 our House in Coombe Park Kingston won the Manser Medal for the best private house of the year.
