Tholos Architects brings together a diverse team of chartered architects, designers and specialists who share a commitment to thoughtful, sustainable design.
As a RIBA Chartered Practice based in London and operating across the continent, we combine international expertise and local professional support with personal attention. Every project benefits from direct senior involvement rather than being passed between departments. We believe good architecture emerges from genuine collaboration, careful listening, and craftsmanship that respects both heritage and innovation.
