‘We, as a practice, choose to be small. This ensures that clients work closely with the directors to receive the best possible service, whilst also allowing us to create the high quality architecture for which we are known.’
“Stuart and Sarah were really great through the initial design and idea stages. They held our hand through the logistical minefield of planning and surveys and where we commissioned them to oversee the project throughout, they reported back to us with upmost diligence. We have had a lot of friends carrying out works at the same time and our build was the smoothest of them all.”

About Us
Archer + Braun are a RIBA and RIAS chartered architecture practice based in London and Edinburgh that undertake projects across the UK.
Founded on a mutual passion for approachable, contemporary and contextual architecture, Sarah and Stuart have worked on a variety of projects for public, private and commercial clients. They have a particular interest in sensitively integrating contemporary interventions with period and listed buildings.
Their designs arise out of a close collaboration between client and architect and produce buildings that are a joy to inhabit. This has been recognised in international press, including the New York Times and nominations for BBC Scotland’s Home of the Year and the Dezeen Awards.
Stuart Archer (BA (Hons), MArch, PGDip, ARB, RIBA) studied at Manchester, Westminster and Kingston before obtaining experience in high-end residential work, interiors and commercial projects in London and further afield.
Sarah Braun (BSc (Hons), MArch, PGDipArch, ARB) studied at Cardiff and Westminster and spent time working on public buildings in Switzerland and housing projects in London. She is an occasional critic at the Welsh School of Architecture.
What We Do
Archer + Braun are skilled at guiding clients through the entire construction process, from pre-purchase advice, to initial concepts and feasibility studies, through to planning and managing the project whilst it is on site. They have an excellent track record obtaining complex planning permissions, including experience working in National Parks, Conservation Areas and with listed buildings.
Working at all scales, from one-off houses to extensions and full internal refurbishments, they are also adept at interior design, including bathrooms, kitchens, bespoke joinery, choosing furniture and selecting paint finishes. Over time Archer + Braun have formed an extensive network of talented people, including other consultants, specialist conservation and restoration contractors, suppliers, builders and makers that all help to facilitate the architecture that they create.
Stuart and Sarah are proud sponsors of the Accelerate programme and actively participate in mentoring students in order to help increase accessibility into the architectural profession.
