Formed originally in 1983 from the design for a small studio building in Sussex. Today, Black Box Architects practices in Cumbria and London, receiving design awards for innovation. Here, the process is everything. Examples of our work are all carried out with economy in mind, but usually for clients looking for more than just an ordinary answer.
There is no excuse for poor building or bad building methods. None at all. And certainly no excuse for poor design. If, by building something, the result develops further, be it those who pay for it or those who use it or even just experience it in passing, then it can develop into good architecture.Above all we listen. To understand a brief fully and help work out a solution to even the most complex problem it needs a process and the first step in all this is the simplest; the ability to listen.

Malcolm has over thirty years experience in housing, city centre developments, retail and urban design.
This was a self-build exercise and we were asked to achieve a code 5 standard, (code 6 being impossible for the location). After a long drawn out negotiation with Planning Officers a house was allowed on the footprint of an old shepherd's bothy. It was acknowledged by the RIBA for standard of finish, spatial qualities and for its location by the riverbank.
