Studio AVC is guided by a belief in design excellence. Our architectural approach draws from the physical and spiritual needs of people, an understanding of the physical context and a sensitivity to the culture and distinctiveness of place. We believe that the best architecture is a result of creativity, consistency, sustainability and efficiency.
We consider ourselves to be imaginative and we push standards to be conceptual and creative. As a small business, Studio AVC’s strength is in nurturing creativity and personal service, consistent with an ethos that “small is beautiful”.
With an awareness of context, our architectural ideas are formed by an understanding of functional constraints and a desire to engage people. We believe that in their purest form buildings are supported by a structure, incorporate services which allow them to function, integrate sustainably with the local environment and provide a quality of natural light that lifts the spirits. Our motivation is the harmony of these diverse elements to produce consistently high quality architecture.
At Studio AVC, we are dedicated to building strong, collaborative relationships with our clients. From initial meetings through to the handover of the finished building and beyond, we ensure open communication and alignment every step of the way.
Our love for the craft extends to the art of hand sketches and physical models, where ideas take shape and evolve. Complementing these traditional methods, our expertise in three-dimensional computer modeling allows us to explore and refine designs swiftly. This capability not only accelerates our design process but also enhances communication with consultants and contractors, ensuring clarity and precision at every step.
The practice is based at Merton Abbey Mills in London and led by Ayca Vural-Cutts.
