Surman Weston is a London-based architecture studio established in 2014 by Tom Surman and Percy Weston.

Eschewing a house style, the practice has developed a portfolio of unique developments that are contextually sensitive, with careful consideration of materiality, construction technique, use and function.

Built works to date include new-build annexes such as Lantern Studio, Brockley, 2016; Cork Study, north London, 2015; and extensive refurbishments such as Mayow Road, Sydenham, 2017; Replica House Studio, Islington, 2018 – where the studio is currently based; and Makepeace Mansions, Highgate, London, 2019.

In 2017 the practice converted a school caretaker’s cottage at Brunswick Park Primary School into a specialist cookery classroom and they subsequently won the commission for the design of Hackney School of Food, an initiative of LEAP Federation and Chefs in Schools, which is currently under construction at Mandeville Primary School, Clapton.
Committed to the process of making, the studio has developed a number of bespoke products, fittings and furniture, including Wedge Table, a minimal chandelier and a contemporary door knob. Tom and Percy are regular tutors for the undergraduate course at the University of Cambridge, and have taught and lectured at institutions including the Royal College of Art and the University of Westminster.
