About Us

Peter Aldington started his independent architectural practice in 1962, quickly earning an international reputation for designing small houses that respected their village locations and achieved magical transitions between interior and garden.

John Craig became a partner in the practice in 1970 and they went on to design ground-breaking doctors’ group practice surgeries, shops, office interiors and public housing.

Paul Collinge joined as an assistant in 1972, became a partner in 1980 and continues to practice under the name as sole principal.
