About

Eldridge London designs extraordinary homes for remarkable people. They have a 20-year track record of delivering the finest contemporary houses, winning the Manser Medal for the best one-off house in the UK, along with being shortlisted for the Stirling Prize and assorted RIBA, Civic Trust and industry awards. They offer our discerning clientele a personal boutique service and relish the opportunity each new project presents to create a sophisticated and exciting home.

Nick Eldridge founded Eldridge London in 1998 and the practice has established a reputation for imaginative, sophisticated bespoke homes in the UK and beyond. The practice’s first project, The Lawns, a House in Highgate Village was the first private house to be nominated for the Stirling Prize and also won RIBA and Civic Trust awards. Subsequent projects including the landmark House in Highgate Cemetery, and the angular House in Epsom, firmly established the practice as designers of remarkable dwellings, with both shortlisted for the RIBA House of the Year (Manser Medal), demonstrating our commitment to inventive and creative design responses. The House in Coombe Park subsequently won the Manser Medal for the best one-off home in the UK. We have won the Building Design Architect of the Year Award for One-off Houses as well as having been a finalist on two further occasions.

Our projects are known for their strong conceptual site response and the refinement and sophistication of detailing, which often extends into the landscapes we create alongside the architecture to form a holistic site composition. We are a small boutique studio providing a discrete and personal service to our discerning clientele, with a sister studio in Cornwall, Eldridge Newlyn.

The practice has also completed a number of high-profile retail, commercial and cultural projects including interiors for Selfridges Birmingham, O2’s Mobile Applications Development Centre, the Design Council Headquarters, The Business and Intellectual Property Centre and a restaurant at the British Library and the Globe Theatre’s Sackler Studios.
