Architecture

Finnis take a collaborative approach to design, both within the studio and with clients and stakeholders. Briefing requirements and site conditions set the framework to create Architecture with a strong connection to the natural landscape while providing its users with open space and privacy. We recognise the important role in which Architecture plays in shaping peoples lives and the built environment. The studio is extremely proud of the great relationships and results it has achieved with both colleagues and clients.

Interiors

Finnis Interiors create spaces which have a lasting synergy between Architecture and Interior by placing a strong importance on spatial planning and materiality. We focus on curating atmospheric conditions which play with natural light whilst providing comfort, style and imagination to projects of all scales and typologies. At Finnis, we enjoy designing Interiors that you love to live, work and play in.
