OEB Architects create imaginative architecture through strategic thinking, open dialogue & a love of making. 
We’ve honed a solution-orientated process which empowers clients to make informed and confident decisions, delivering the spaces they need with originality, technical clarity and warmth. 
People bring us on board as knowledgeable and pragmatic partners for community spaces, rural estates, city-centre regeneration and individual homes. 
What ties them together is our exploratory and considered approach to ensuring that buildings – old and new – are useful, adaptable and inventive.

We understand that defining overarching aspirations is key to directing the course of a project, so we support you with strategic goals whilst keeping our eye on budget and environmental constraints. As experienced individuals within a small practice setting, we know how to make buildings practical and sustainable, and ensure a rigorous service is maintained for all elements of work.

Translating a design idea into a physical form is what we get out of bed for. As experienced makers, we’re thinking about technical details, materials and construction methods from the start to set the tone and character of our proposals. This ensures that high quality and performance are firmly established throughout the process. Our close relationships with consultants and contractors help you navigate the complex processes of design, planning and delivery for a successful outcome.

Thank you for your interest and apologies for not meaningfully communicating with you but doing so via design for me I have found cumbersome and ineffective. The pre-app has concluded there is no realistic possibility of a development on this site. Thank you once again. Anthony Warren

"Tessa was brilliant at all stages of the process, right from coming up with initial ideas to managing the builders. She struck the perfect balance between turning what I already had in mind into plans and challenging my ideas with some great alternatives. The end result was exactly what I wanted - a combination of distinctive design and high functionality. I would have no hesitation in recommending Tessa and OEB Architects."
Ivan, house remodelling in East London
OEB Architects helped us with the design and renovation of our home in Brockley. Their stage process was really clear and we had good regular contact and advice throughout both the planning and the build. David and Tessa are super easy-going and very easy to work with too which helps of course. We're delighted with our final result - we now have a much improved home which feels much lighter and more open, and more natural and comfortable to live and hang out in and in particular a fantastic bathroom that helps us feel like we're waking up in a stylish boutique hotel each morning. I would 100% recommend OEB Architects to others

“Working with OEB has been brilliant. From their unique, exploratory approach to the interesting conversations on design, we’ve felt supported & confident throughout the process. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed the journey together to create a home which is practical, playful & individual.
