Core offering

Stolon Studio is a London-based architectural practice that designs sociable housing, high-performance buildings, and sustainable projects including residential developments, mixed-use regeneration schemes, and rural estate transformations. The practice delivers full architectural services from concept design through planning applications, technical design, and project delivery, with particular expertise in climate-adaptive and flood-resilient construction. Its work spans small-sites housing, modular construction, urban regeneration, and bespoke residential commissions for developers, local authorities, and private clients.

Product overview

Stolon Studio is an ethical, ambitious, and inventive architectural practice offering a portfolio of architectural design services and projects. Rather than a unified software product, the firm delivers discrete architectural projects across residential, commercial, and community sectors. Their work is organized around the 'sociable architecture' philosophy, creating housing and buildings that prioritize community cohesion and social interaction. Key project types include: sociable housing schemes (Forest Mews, Kaolin Court, Penrose Mews, Stables Yard) designed to enhance community; rural estates (Fowlescombe Estate, The Parks); large-scale regeneration projects (East Norwich, Shoeburyness, Hampton Quay); and award-winning individual homes (Barn House). The practice is RIBA Chartered and delivers projects from inception through planning and construction, with expertise in climate adaptation, flood resilience, and sustainable design.
