6a architects was founded by Tom Emerson and Stephanie Macdonald in 2001. They are best known for their contemporary art galleries, educational buildings, artists’ studios and residential projects, often in sensitive historic environments. 6a architects rose to prominence with the completion of two critically acclaimed public art galleries, Raven Row (2009), which won a RIBA Award in 2011, and the expanded South London Gallery (2010). Recently completed projects include a new 68-room hall of residence at Churchill College, Cambridge (2016), which garnered a RIBA Regional East Award (2017), and a new studio complex for photographer Juergen Teller (2016), which was winner of both RIBA London Building of the Year (2017) and a RIBA National Award (2017). The building was also shortlisted for the Stirling Prize. The practice has won major national and international competitions and been recognized with several prestigious awards, including RIBA Awards, consecutive nominations for the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies Van der Rohe Award and the Schelling Medal for Architecture.
