Founded in 2000 by Daniel Rosbottom and David Howarth, DRDH is a small focused studio: they make architecture across a breadth of scales, contexts and types. Each building is situated in response to the particularities of its surroundings, whilst remaining cognizant of the restrictions and opportunities presented by contemporary construction practices. Since its inception, DRDH has worked internationally and has won multiple awards and prizes, including the 2015 Norwegian State Architecture Prize.
