Morris+Company

Morris+Company are a London and Copenhagen based practice that work on housing, schools, healthcare, workplaces, tall buildings, neighbourhood masterplans, research, campaigns and much more.

Our teams rich, cross-sector experience informs every stage of the project journey - connecting environmental sustainability with economic, social, and cultural resilience.

We start with a deep dive into the character of a place: what it is now and what it could become. We listen, empathise and respond with designs that rigorously observe and exceed the brief, balancing the ambition and vision with deliverable impact. We use craft and technology to test, imagine and develop ideas and draw on data-driven design to seek out the solutions that minimise the impact on our planet.

We are open-minded and people-focused, balancing the need of local communities with the global impact of development. Working hand in hand with exceptional clients and project partners we actively engage and collaborate with the communities we serve.

Our studios are inclusive, constructive spaces where we embrace new learning and insight, and where we teach, initiate research, share knowledge and inspire change.

The third lot of the Southwark Council Framework that we have been accepted onto is for large workplace projects (commercial & industrial). "Our interest in the working life of our buildings – how they are loved, lived and worked in – presents us with a very particular challenge when we are commissioned to create a new workplace." David Storring, Director

We are proud to be among a selection of great practices on 3 lots of the Southwark Council Framework, including Education, Social Care and Community projects. "Our work in this sector considers each project as a local catalyst for change that will bring diverse groups of people together, in the very best and the very worst of times, for wellness, learning and culture." Keir Regan-Alexander, Director

We are thrilled to have been selected as a member of the Southwark Council Housing framework team. "In this time more than ever we all appreciate the importance of everyone having an affordable place to call home which supports a healthy life and is integral to our local community and environment." Miranda MacLaren, Director

Joe’s lecture- 'METHODS of Design and Collaboration during Crisis' as part of the Architecture Foundation’s 100 day studio event. "Collaboration isn’t a one size fits all jacket, it is a unisex onesie made of ethically sourced and organic recycled spandex, where arms can be legs, and there is no back or front. It’s malleable, flexible, and can accommodate all shapes and sizes."

We have entered an unprecedented period of uncertainty and no one will be immune from the socio-economic impacts of Covid-19 as we adapt to new ways of working and making. Read more click here.
