[Y/N] Studio is a London based architecture practice that has gained international recognition. We ask questions about the site and brief to maximise their potential. The questions are often complex but a successful answer should be as simple as Yes or No.

We work with clients, communities and constraints. We balance ambitious design with planning policy, creative ingenuity with buildability, and the latest technology with the realities of budget and programme. We challenge expectations of what is possible.

While disparate in nature, scale, form and material, our projects are all characterised by a combination of pragmatic problem solving and idealistic ingenuity. We call this approach Pragmatic Idealism.

Awards include a RIBA National Award, Civic Trust Award, Dezeen Awards shortlist, AJ Small Projects shortlist, AJ Retrofit shortlist and a BD Young Architect of the Year finalist nomination.  

Our work has been widely published, featuring in The Guardian, Wallpaper, Fast Company, Dezeen, the RIBA Journal, the Architects Journal, Building Design, Detail, Arquine and Afasia.
