Geoff and Claire formed Shu Architects in March 2019. As Shu Architects, we pride ourselves on being an independent, boutique architecture studio that offers a personal and bespoke service. Our passion and commitment to projects has helped ensure that clients return to use our services time and time again.

We are passionate about low energy buildings including ensuring that listed buildings are upgraded where possible to be more efficient. As Claire is an RIBA Conservation Registrant and Geoff is a Certified Passivhaus Designer we use these skills to promote a ‘fabric first’ approach to design.

One of the main considerations in environmental building is considering energy efficiency during construction and we have first hand experience with modular assembly methods.

Geoff and Claire were formerly both design directors at Studio Henley Architects, which closed following the death of Nick Henley. Some of the completed projects showcased on the website are ones they were instrumental in leading and delivering.
