Studio Skein is an employee-owned architectural co-op dedicated to circular economy principles and community-centric design. Established in 1992, we’ve built a solid architectural portfolio of diverse buildings, spaces, and places, with projects ranging from multi-million-pound housing developments, to high-impact but small-scale community facilities. Now entering a new chapter in our story, we have ambitious plans to decarbonise and establish our reputation in the field of circular design and build, focusing on retrofit, community-led development and creative reuse of existing buildings and materials.
We’re building circularity into all our designs, meaning we prioritise pre-used materials, or bio-based natural new materials where essential; designing for demountability and future reuse; and considering future material data traceability. Moving away from linear (take-make-waste) design practices towards a circular way of doing architecture (retain-refit-refurbish-reuse-recycle), helps us to address the significant environmental impacts of our profession.
