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]

London Health House
With its swimming pool and outdoor sunbathing spaces, the London Health House recalls the Lovell Health House by Richard Neutra, and its precursor, the Lovell Beach House by Rudolph Schindler. Like our practice, both Schindler and Neutra were heavily influenced by Adolf Loos, and the work of Neutra is characterised by sculptural compositions of rectilinear planes and volumes, rather like our own projects. The London Health House comprises a new outbuilding, a rear extension to the ground floor, roof and loft extensions, and internal refurbishment throughout. While the articulation of timber ceilings and walls recalls Neutra’s other houses, the heavily figured marble to the kitchen and bathrooms is reminiscent of the work of Loos himself. Glass block walls on the top floor are a nod to another major influence on the work of our practice, Pierre Chareau’s Maison de Verre, and create an evocative play of light, silhouette, and shadow.
The work of William Tozer Associates has received a number of prestigious awards and has been featured in numerous magazines, journals, and books.
