We create beautiful and sustainable places to live and learn

Mike Tuck Studio are an east London-based architecture practice working across London, Cambridge and the south east of England. We have built up a wealth of knowledge and experience working with existing buildings to deliver spaces that work for the client and the environment, and our studio has become a place of continual investigation into how we can develop our original ideas into a built reality. We love what we do and enjoy designing in a thoughtful and hands-on way to ensure the process is a pleasure for ourselves and the client.

Our design process is driven by our genuine passion for materially and environmentally rich design. With handmade models and sketches we ensure our clients are involved and informed at every stage. We test materials, textures, layouts and details to explore the possibilities of a space. Behind the scenes, we are continually refocusing our practice in the hope that our buildings can touch the ground lightly.

    — Breathable House client

  • “Our favourite part is the light-drenched kitchen with its curved roof. It’s a joyful place to be at any time of day, but also incredibly practical and well suited to family life. We’re looking forward to many more years in our home. And our cat loves it too”

    — A Mended House client

  • “We now have a home that is bold and playful yet practical and comforting. Things we love – the variety of textures from bare multi-finish plaster to the painted and exposed brickwork, the exposed steels, the painted fluted MDF panelling”
