Haverstock Associates

What Haverstock Associates does

Haverstock Associates LLP is a London-headquartered architectural design practice operating as a Limited Liability Partnership, founded circa 1990 (firmographic record states 1980). The firm delivers full architectural services across the RIBA work stages for UK public-sector clients, with particular depth in specialist SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disability) school design (30+ projects), crematoria, civic and community buildings, heritage/conservation work on Grade I, II and II* listed buildings, and inclusive/supported living design. Project examples include the £10m Guildford Crematorium (RIBA National Award 2022), Linden Farm supported living for autistic adults, the 11-year Dover Maison Dieu Grade I restoration, and Livity School in Lambeth.

The studio operates from a single site near Kings Cross (Studio 10, Cliff Road Studios, NW1 9AN) using industry-standard tools — primarily REVIT and Adobe Creative Suite — with no proprietary technology platform. Service offerings are organized into full architectural services plus complementary modules: strategic feasibility, client design advisory, technical advisory, and inclusive design consultancy. The firm differentiates on domain expertise rather than technology, with deep specialization in complex user-group needs (autism, SEMH, physical disabilities) and conservation-grade heritage adaptation.

Revenue is generated through professional service fees on project-by-project appointments, primarily won through direct public-sector tendering with UK local authorities, the Department for Education, and government contractors (Kier, Morgan Sindall). The firm is independently owned with no disclosed venture, private equity or parent-company involvement, and reports no public revenue figures. Distribution is direct (no channel intermediaries), with marketing focused on a website portfolio, Instagram and LinkedIn. The practice actively recruits and positions itself as a tight-knit, collaborative studio, with current openings for an Experienced Architect (£40k-£45k) and Part 1 Architectural Assistant (£29k).
