Rolfe Judd Architecture

What Rolfe Judd Architecture does

Rolfe Judd is a London-headquartered architecture and planning practice established in 1968 by David Rolfe and Tony Judd, operating today under parent entity Rolfe Judd Holdings Ltd with two wholly-owned subsidiaries — Rolfe Judd Architecture and Rolfe Judd Planning. The firm delivers full-service architectural design and specialist town planning across residential, commercial, mixed-use, heritage, and urban regeneration projects, with additional capability in interior design (Rolfe Judd Interiors) and BIM-enabled project delivery that produces detailed asset models for client handover. Its core technology is BIM, used for coordinated design production and ongoing asset monitoring, maintenance, and performance tracking by clients after construction completion.

The practice serves enterprise clients including major UK property developers, REITs, institutional investors, local authorities, and education sector organizations — among them Berkeley Group, The Crown Estate, Workspace Group, Shaftesbury Capital, London Square, Anthology, and the London School of Economics — on multi-phase regeneration mandates such as the Oval Village (1,336 homes), Twelvetrees Park (4,000 homes), Kennington Park, County Hall Kingston, and Glasshouse Walk. Operations span the UK (London headquarters) and Poland (offices in Katowice and Warsaw, staffed by IARP-credentialed architects delivering work for both UK and Polish clients). Certifications including BREEAM Excellent/Outstanding, WELL Gold, EPC A, and NABERS are repeatedly evidenced across projects.

The business operates on a project-based professional services model with no publicly disclosed pricing, generating revenue through fee-for-service contracts on individual schemes and long-running regeneration programs. Go-to-market is direct enterprise engagement supported by an active awards profile, presence at industry events (UKREiiF, MIPIM), and content marketing via the firm's website and LinkedIn presence. The practice is privately held with no external investment, has 51–100 employees, and is in active operation as of 2026 under the stewardship of its board of directors following leadership transitions in 2024–2025.
