About Us

Based out of our office in London, Whitaker Studio designs one of a kind buildings, master plans and objects for clients who want something unique.

We are passionate about what we do and strive to create the best.

We don't have a set style, or set way of working, but rather a constantly evolving collection of interests we want to explore.

We start every project with no preconception of what it should be other than that it should be the best possible project it can be.

That journey always starts by listening to our clients. If we want to create something that is great, really great, we need to understand our clients and see the world from their perspective. Find out what the ‘best possible project’ means to them. Once we understand their motivation, desires and dreams we can pick up a pencil and start to sketch.

Whitaker Studio was founded by James Whitaker. James studied architecture at The University of Edinburgh, where he also taught animation and multimedia. He has worked in London and Hong Kong in the studios of Thomas Heatherwick and Ron Arad on a variety of projects, big and small, including the Watergate Hotel, Washington DC and Pacific Place Mall, Hong Kong. Whitaker Studio’s most well-known project is probably the Starburst House in Joshua Tree which was the most popular project on Dezeen in 2017. James's photography work has been exhibited widely and published internationally, from the BBC Culture Show to Architecture New Zealand.
