Campbell Architecture

Campbell Architecture create finely crafted, bespoke homes for clients who care about their living environments. We are high-touch and low volume. We invest the time and effort necessary to understand our clients, their ideas & desires. Each work is a unique & bespoke - spaces to inhabit for a lifetime. The philosophical framework within which we design is well summarised by William Morris: “simplicity of life … is the very foundation of refinement” Within this framework, we work to craft environments particular to each clients needs. We shy away from a dogmatic dictation or description of style - our work is clean, contemporary and functional, and yet comfortable and familiar. Our framework is based around three touchpoints – simplicity, durability & refinement. Simplicity: an architecture of simple ideas; looks good when it is real; impresses by function & finesse rather than excess; when you think you are finished, take one more thing away. Durability: durable architecture should look as good and work as well in 10 years and more as it does now; avoids the latest fads, if designing for kids will withstand them; looks good and can be kept looking good. Refinement: an architecture that does not need to be iconic, does not shout, but that will work and breathe in the way you choose to use it; never forgetting the pleasure of whimsy, the unexpected, the soft against the hard, curved adjacent the straight, the new against the old.
