About

K Bava Architects is a design-focused studio in London.

Since its inception in 2018, K Bava Architects has concentrated on building a body of innovative and inspiring architectural design. We offer a variety of services including architecture, urban design, interior design and conservation work.  We have extensive knowledge of working with historic and listed buildings.

Our clients are diverse: from individual homeowners and shops to major cultural organisations and high-end developers. We have demonstrated an approach to resolving client ambitions and project complexities into a tactile architecture of atmosphere, material and detail. We resolve complex combinations of existing elements into an architecture, which in its totality feels well balanced and comfortable.

The practice is experienced with complex clients such as the Victoria and Albert Museum, and is currently undertaking a number of projects for the Barbican Centre.

The residential projects range from low to high budgets. The approach to each situation is unique with some projects displaying a rich and complex design, whilst others take a calm and understated method to meet the client’s needs.

Our retail design work has provided great opportunity to experiment with small-scale semi-public work. We aim to capture the essence of each brand to create a physical embodiment of their values on display to their customers.
