Upturning architectural hierarchy to build meaningful and
just communities
At Architecture Unknown we believe design and construction should be an inclusive dialogue where everyone takes part, one where architecture becomes more than just the route to a building. We create social connections where none previously existed as people construct a shared understanding of place.
Our Process
Engage
​
We engage to ensure that the public and residents are partners in construction. We uncover key aspect goals of your project and community, promoting shared values and identity.
Design
​
We design buildings that inspire our clients and champion their values. We are professional architects using our years of experience and creative talents to help you achieve your aspirations.
Build
​
We build with communities to enable everyone to participate together in construction. Using WikiHouse, we empower you to build with those closest to you and to spark the regeneration of your neighbourhood.
Our Thoughts
We're thrilled to celebrate a fantastic achievement at the 2026 Manchester Society of Architects Awards!
​
Our team was honoured to receive both the Community Built Award and the Design Innovation Award, recognising our commitment to creating meaningful, impactful spaces and pushing the boundaries of architectural design.
​
These awards reflect the dedication, creativity and collaborative spirit of our team, clients and partners who help bring our projects to life. We're incredibly proud of what we've achieved together and grateful to the MSA for this recognition.
​
Thank you to everyone who has supported us on this journey. We look forward to continuing to deliver innovative, community-focused architecture and sharing more exciting projects in the months ahead.
