04 / The practice

No house style.
Your way of living.

Established in 2004, DTR is an architectural practice working with private clients, developers and social landlords across London and the Home Counties.

A conservation-area apartment asks different questions from a nursery or a new home. DTR starts with the people, the building and the place, then works through the planning and technical detail.
