Jonathan Davidson Architects

Our architecture is driven by a philosophy of simplicity, legibility and harmony. The buildings we produce come from a detailed understanding and examination of the functions they must fulfil, the conditions they have to provide and the materials and methods of their construction. This enables us to understand the totality of the project and the influences upon it.


This process is directly translated into form and detail, allowing us to reduce projects to their essential elements so that we eliminate unnecessary complexity and provide a clarity and transparency of intention that results in an architecture of substance and integrity.


Everything we produce, from buildings and masterplans to industrial design, is characterised by this legibility as it derives from a method rather than the imposition of a style. As a result, our designs are innovative, they often surprise and are always precisely tuned to the requirements of the client and end user. We produce buildings that work, inspire people and have the ability to transform communities.
