Andy Ramus and AR Design Studio
AR Design Studio’s Director Andy Ramus is a 41 year old Architect, born in London and trained at Plymouth School of Architecture under the eminent Professor Adrian Gale. In 2000 he completed his education at the AA in London.
In 2001, after 5 years working in London, he established his own practice and is now based in Hampshire. AR Design Studio is a young, award winning, contemporary architectural practice dedicated and passionate about delivering elegant and functional solutions to modern living.
Initially designing small bespoke extensions and furniture, the practice has steadily extended its portfolio to include several one-off houses and a range of luxury commercial refurbishment and new build schemes. We currently have a variety of exciting projects with budgets ranging from £100,000 to £12,000,000.
The studio’s design philosophy is to understand the client’s needs and requirements through listening, interpreting and translating the design brief into clear objectives. We aim to offer an innovative design approach that exceeds expectations, yet remain achievable. We avoid a prescriptive style of architecture, rather taking inspiration from the client and the site. However, our work is always characterised by a clean, contemporary, and eco-friendly approach.
AR Design Studio have won the prestigious RIBA Downland Award 2012, the Fareham Society Design Award 2012, the Federation of Master Builders Regional Award 2012, the Daily Telegraph Small House of the Year Award 2008, and were shortlisted for the RIBA Downland Award 2010 and the Young Architect of the Year Award 2011.
AR Design Studio are also catching the eye of the national media and have been featured on ITV’s Meridian Tonight and featured in the Mail on Sunday, Sunday Times, Sunday Telegraph, Hello and Grand Design magazines.
