Make is a different kind of architecture practice. Motivated by imaginative design, we deliver spaces that inspire people and transform lives. Founded in 2004 by Ken Shuttleworth, we have teams in London, Hong Kong, Sydney and Shanghai providing architecture, interior and urban design services from concept to completion. We’re committed to resilient placemaking that creates social value for all.
