HelloHello! My name is Shaun Ihejetoh, director and co-founder of West Port, a small but growing architectural studio based in Maida Hill, northwest London who endeavour to deliver high-quality, contemporary and contextual buildings that positively enhance their local environments. Started in 2016 by three architecture students from Edinburgh, they are a small, but growing team with a diverse range of cultural and professional experiences who are currently working on a variety of projects across the UK, from the south coast of England to the Hebrides of Scotland. Our practice is based on the belief that architecture should be about collaboration and making the profession accessible to the public. To date, we have been grateful to have worked with many amazing homeowners, developers and public sector and institutional clients, and always looking out to help out individuals and developers with their next project!

I have been working with [this company] for the past four years when they were newly formed practice, keen to utilise their energy and expertise for the development of my warehouse building. They have provided amazing creative input while helping resolve the complex issues of the site. Their understanding of the needs of the long-term resident such as myself balanced with my desire to expand has led to the design of a great scheme which we hope to take forward to construction.

It has been a pleasure to work with [Shaun's studio] on the exhibition design for Africa Fashion. The team have taken a considered and thoughtful approach to the project. Their concept proposals have been deeply rooted in research, and they’ve spent a long time exploring and understanding the exhibition concept and narrative, as well as our guiding principles. This has translated not just into the physical design but also the ethos of their work. The team have a very collaborative approach, listen to feedback easily and bring lots of ideas to the table. The design they have created speaks to the narrative of the exhibition and is a unique and innovative use of the space.
