Wodu Architects is a young London based practice. Our work currently ranges from private houses, residential and commercial developments to smaller scale community projects. As a practice we aim to create architecture that is simultaneously contemporary, appropriate and rooted in its context. Where possible we seek to produce work that is a unique response to the social, ecological, historical and economic aspects of a particular place. Our approach to designing is elastic. We always aim to enter into dialogue with each client and every site. We observe and approach each project on an individual basis, avoiding formulas and any pre-conceived ideas, and in so doing we are able to avoid producing insensitive architecture.
Our client base includes numerous private clients, small to medium developers, charitable organizations, religious groups and an independent Television Channel. We have successfully built a number of projects of varying sizes, predominantly within the London area.
