Hollaway Studio
Design begins with feeling – for place, for the past, for the needs and wants of the now, and for a future that matters. It listens. It empathises. It’s pragmatic. It’s an understanding that informs everything we do. It makes buildings that work – truly, beautifully.
​
Hollaway Studio is an award-winning architectural and interior design practice with studios in London and Kent. Led by Guy Hollaway, the studio is renowned for its innovative, people-focused approach that blends contemporary creativity with deep respect for heritage and place.
​
At the heart of Hollaway’s philosophy is the belief that “design begins with feeling”—an empathetic, pragmatic understanding of how people experience spaces, both emotionally and physically. This ethos informs every project, from bespoke homes and cultural landmarks to large-scale urban regeneration schemes. The studio’s portfolio includes standout projects like the world’s first multi-storey skatepark, F51 in Folkestone; the Curious Brewery in Ashford; and the Process Gallery for artist Nick Veasey.
​
Hollaway Studio’s work has been widely recognized, earning over 20 prestigious awards, including multiple RIBA Regional Awards, the AJ Architecture Award, and the Dezeen Public Vote Award. Their designs consistently balance playfulness with precision, sustainability with boldness, and innovation with community impact.
​
With a collaborative team of architects, designers, and thinkers, Hollaway Studio continues to shape environments that not only function beautifully but also inspire, connect, and endure. Whether reimagining historic sites or pioneering new typologies, the studio is committed to architecture that changes lives—for the better.
