Studio Contra is an ARCON registered and RIBA chartered architectural, urban and interior design practice. We are committed to the delivery of innovative and thoughtful contemporary architecture for clients with an equal enthusiasm for design.

We believe that for a project to have impact three things are required, concept, culture and craft: a strong conceptual underpinning, a sense of being rooted in culture and environment, and skillful craftsmanship in execution.

Our process is inquisitive and concept-driven; we look for solutions that directly confront the challenges of each brief and seek to unlock hidden value for clients through all stages of the project.
