About Friend and Company

Below £100k to over £5m

Friend and Company aims to create beautiful, simple buildings through a dialogue with clients, end-users and collaborators. We work on a variety of scales, from private residences to educational buildings. Our portfolio of completed work includes award-winning new build developments as well as sensitive conversions of historic buildings. Each project, regardless of scale, is the result of detailed research into the context and site characteristics.

We are adept at finding imaginative solutions to complex architectural problems, and have a particular interest in exploiting the structural possibilities of materials. Ideally we like to be closely involved when a project goes on site, and we believe that a continuous dialogue with contractors and sub-contractors helps to ensure the highest quality of construction.

Practice Principal, Adrian Friend, runs the Undergraduate Studio Workshops for the Institute of Architecture at the University of Nottingham. Teaching provides a forum for exploring ideas and has enabled Friend and Company to develop design processes based on rapid drawing and modelling techniques.

Friend and Company are an RIBA Chartered Practice.
