Award-Winning Architects in Staines with 50 Years of Design Experience
Robert Davies John West are an award-winning architects practice based in Staines, delivering creative, sustainable and thoughtful design solutions across the UK and internationally for over 50 years. Our experienced team works across residential, commercial and community projects, combining design innovation with technical expertise. We pride ourselves on a personal and professional approach that brings each client’s vision to life — from concept to completion.
With over five decades of architectural practice behind us we offer to you expertise, wisdom and innovation all underpinned with diligent and thoughtful practicality.
We deliver 'real-world' architecture', that balances your aspirations, budget and timeframe. No matter the scale, typology or geographical location we have always approached design solutions holistically — consistently outperforming regulatory frameworks in planning, building regulations and sustainability standards.
We are pioneers of sustainable architecture. In the early 1990s, we delivered the UK’s first commercial building with a deep borehole heat exchange system for Ascom Hasler in Croydon. Since then, we’ve continued to lead with innovative, experimental, and environmentally responsible design — from off-grid eco-houses and Passivhaus projects to fabric-first strategies, solar gain optimisation, natural cooling, and landscape-led solutions. We are bound by honesty and integrity... and we love beautiful solutions.
This has always been our ethos.

50th Anniversary Celebration aboard the S.L.Streatley
It was with an overwhelming sense of pride that Robert Davies John West Ltd director and chartered architect Kevin Davies addressed staff and valued clients on the River Thames aboard the S.L.Streatley, a luxury 100 year old genuine coal fired steam boat, to celebrate the practice's 50th anniversary.

Speaking at the event, Kevin explained the 50-year journey of the practice from...
