About us

We think of architecture not as a single practice, but as several interlocking ones. Landscapes are inseparable from structures, ecology is inseparable from building requirements, and improving human connections, mental well-being, Covid safety, and thermal comfort are increasingly reliant on sustainable strategy.

 

We strive for honesty and clarity. Our first task is to understand the client’s vision and needs, not to present our own. We value timeliness, direct communication, presentations as well as the occasional face-to-face meeting over coffee.

 

Over the years, we have been fortunate to collaborate with some excellent clients on some wonderful projects. A building exists in time and its usefulness and longevity are directly related to how well it continues to perform in the face of climate change.

 

Our gratitude and acknowledgments go to Santander for their very generous Start-up Enterprise Grant which has helped Wistom enormously to get established!

Thanks also to the University of Kent’s Business School - Aspire team for their invaluable support and guidance.
