Introduction

Office Ten is a London-based architecture practice dedicated to the quiet power of preservation and renewal. We give new life to existing spaces by tackling complex challenges across architecture and beyond.

Since 2017, we’ve honed an approach that maximises existing space and adapts it to contemporary living. Guided by the belief that functionality is key to a good life, we focus solely on what’s necessary to minimise environmental impact and create diverse spatial experiences.

Drawing on our native Norwegian and Japanese traditions, our work combines the natural beauty and strength of raw materials with considered construction techniques and functional layouts. By aligning these elements with the needs of our clients and society at large, we create spaces for a more intentional way of life to unfold.

Our team

Erika Suzuki (BEng MEng DipArch MArch ARB) and Anders Strand Luhr (MArch ARB RIBA) met while studying at Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL). Curious about the potential of architecture to improve lives for clients and communities as well as for those who practice it, they established Office Ten to cement their vision for a better way of life.

The team combines their practice with research through teaching at the Architectural Association and University of Greenwich, where they have established a design unit focused exclusively on working with existing buildings.

In 2024, ‘Apartment with a Mezzanine’ was shortlisted for the Don’t Move, Improve! Award and exhibited at the NLA’s London Centre. In 2025, the firm will exhibit their ‘Greenest House’ project at the Venice Biennale ofArchitecture, as part of the “TIME SPACE EXISTENCE” exhibition.
