Practice
Created by Patrick Usborne & Aelene Thorne, Perpendicular Architecture designs buildings and places to help communities thrive. We are architects, researchers and consultants experienced in unlocking value in each one of our projects.
We are problem solvers, providing an holistic evidence based design approach. Our consultancy service provides strategic advice to organisations needing to embrace circular design principals. We do this through understanding the way we build, what we build with, and who we’re building for.
Through our consultancy, research and experience we engage in a rigorous and highly collaborative approach to building design and delivery. We have a great relationship with our clients and supply chain, bringing an ecological and problem solving mind-set to each of our projects.
We work across redevelopment projects of all sizes and scales; from private houses to housing masterplanning, from urban apartment buildings to community buildings; we have broad experience of the wider design process and delivering building of inherent quality to our Clients.
Innovation
We are leading innovators in how buildings are built and are proficient in the use of modern methods of construction across mmc categories.
Through the Better Delivery Collective and The Positive Collective we are committed to bring the construction industry into the twenty first century.
Environment
We design our buildings to reconnect with nature and are experts in the use of biogenic materials, regenerating the climate and its biodiversity.
We are committed to achieving zero carbon in all our work by 2030 and have signed the RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge, and are founding signatories of ACAN!.
Community
We care about the happiness, health & wellbeing of those we design for and strive for community cohesion and social value in each of our projects.
We are committed to inclusivity both in practice and in design and have signed up to the Speaker Diversity Pledge and support London Mayors Diversity Pledge.
