THE STUDIO
Studio RHL is an architectural firm focused on the creation of skilfully crafted residential, commercial and hospitality projects. Led by architect Raheel Butt, this all-encompassing studio specialises in both the design and realisation of clean and simple structures where functionality and a thoughtful elevation of atmosphere and space are key to each blueprint.
The UK-based studio was launched in 2015, and since then Raheel has designed a range of projects defined by an approach that leans on creating seamless harmonies with existing environments. Having established the firm soon after graduating in 2010, Raheel has developed an acute familiarity with every aspect of the architectural design process. This expertise, combined with an in-depth knowledge of planning procedures and development logistics, enables Studio RHL to offer clients a full-service method in which the creative vision and client brief are never compromised.
Distinguished by a design language that pairs highly functional, timeless design with raw, natural materials, the design office is especially recognised for its reverence for light and an eye for reconfiguration. With projects of various scale across both the Greater London area and the UK, Studio RHL is available to provide a unique lens on a wide scope of fields, with services ranging from design development to project management.
THE APPROACH
Studio RHL takes an approach to design that is equally proactive and responsive. This methodology prioritises the elevation of environments through an honest evaluation of the challenges and opportunities presented by each unique space. Additionally, in understanding the importance of continuous and open dialogue, the multi-disciplinary studio places an emphasis on a working style built around trust and clear communication. The result is a diverse portfolio of projects across residential, commercial and hospitality structures that each honour site context, client briefs and the firm’s vision.
Beyond the initial stages of design, Raheel and his team also have the expertise and experience to provide support right thorough to construction. Collaborating with an expansive community of contractors and suppliers to a create personalised spaces, each managed project is characterised by a hands-on effort in which functionality and a sharp attention to detail underpin every assignment. Ultimately, Studio RHL is committed to creating simple yet powerful spaces through a thoughtful scrutiny of each site’s constraints and potential in order to cultivate the best outcome for each client.
