WILLIAM TOZER Associates is an award-winning practice of British architects headquartered in London, with a track record of completed projects in the UK, US, Australia and New Zealand. The practice understands architecture as compositions of abstract sculptural form and space, and discrete functional 'furnishings' at various scales. Each project curates and reframes the context and history of its site, and captures the open-endedness of the processes of design, demolition, and construction. [read more]
WILLIAM TOZER Associates has completed residential and commercial projects of a large range of types and sizes. We have worked on multi-unit housing and completed many projects for terraced, semi-detached, and detached houses—as well as cabins, studios, and outbuildings. Our broad commercial experience includes offices, restaurants, bars, breweries, cafes, bakeries, shops, and hair salons. [browse projects]
The finished project resembles an architect’s design parti diagram, recalling the numbered ‘House’ projects of Peter Eisenman, particularly his House VI. Sculptural architectural elements—clad in grey timber boards, light timber veneer, terracotta tiles, and terrazzo—assume a diagrammatic appearance due to the concealed detailing of edges, joins, and handles. These elements are separated from one another by shadow gaps, clear space, or areas of frameless glazing. The uninterrupted white ceiling and grid of grey floor tiles provide a visually empty cartesian space within which the rectilinear forms are arranged. [read more]
