Jamie Fobert Architects. Architecture studio founded in 1996 by Jamie Fobert based in Shoreditch, London, United Kingdom.
Their clients are diverse: from individual homeowners to large cultural organisations and international retailers. They demonstrate a consistent approach to resolving client ambitions and the complexities of the environment in a tactile architecture: of volume, material and light.
Their project approach is led by functionality, usability and the exchanges that architecture can foster. Their spaces are made to endure, innovative shapes that seek to achieve long-term social, economic and environmental benefits.
Their early projects included domestic spaces for artists such as Antony Gormley and Christopher Le Brun. They later worked on exhibition design for major galleries including “The Upright Figure” at Tate Moderns Turbine Hall, gaining the opportunity to design galleries for clients such as Frieze Art Fair, Pace and the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in Moscow. Through this work they have gained a clear understanding of artistic practice and installation, reflected in major art projects such as Tate St Ives in Cornwall, Kettles Yard in Cambridge, the National Portrait Gallery in London and the Royal Observatory Greenwich.
In 2019 they won the BD Architect of the Year Gold Award, in recognition of their work on public buildings, and some of their projects have been twice shortlisted for the RIBA Stirling Prize: Tate St Ives in 2018 and the National Portrait Gallery in 2024.
