House & Garden Top 100 Architects

We are proud to be included in House and Garden’s ‘Top 100 Interior Designers and Architects for 2023′, in addition to 2002.

In House and Garden magazine, the annual selection of the Top 100 interior designers and architects are chosen for their “flair, expertise and professionalism”. We are in some great company, with lots of talented designers and architects featured in the House & Garden Top 100 this year.

“Ben Ridley (an architect and Passivhaus designer) and his team specialise in low-energy buildings. The firm’s projects include new builds as well as refurbishments and extensions of period houses. Architecture for London has always expressed a clear commitment to sustainability and healthy homes. Their holistic, turn-key approach to design and architecture gives the practice’s houses and apartments a rounded quality, encompassing every aspect of a project, including interior design.”

The House and Garden top 100 listing was begun in 1998, when the first list of 100 leading interior designers was published in the magazine. An equivalent round-up of garden designers was introduced in 2019.

House and Garden magazine was first launched in 1901 as a journal devoted to architecture. Its founding editors were Herbert C. Wise, Wilson Eyre, and Frank Miles Day, all Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, architects. The magazine now aims to be a defining voice for the latest interior design ideas, beautiful lifestyle inspiration and food recipes.

We are glad to be recognised in House and Garden for our sustainability credentials, particularly for Low Energy House. This project aimed to be an exemplar for the sustainable refurbishment of a typical terraced home in London, with a constrained budget. Both embodied energy and energy in-use have been considered in depth.

Energy requirements are reduced dramatically by insulating, triple-glazing and improving airtightness. New additions include a rear extension and a loft conversion.
