Oxford Architects & Interior Designers

We begin by understanding.
Every place has a story before we arrive. Through research, observation and conversation, we uncover what makes it distinctive and what matters to the people who use it. These discoveries give the design its direction.
Design Storey is an architecture and interiors studio based in Oxford, working across the UK. Our projects range from homes and historic buildings to colleges, museums, hospitality and wellness spaces.

We bring a holistic approach to our
architecture and heritage projects.
Designed from the inside out and the outside in.
We are drawn to places where context matters and the brief demands judgement. The complexity may lie in heritage, use, setting, stakeholders or programme; our role is to bring those demands together.
Architecture and interiors are developed together, with landscape considered as part of the wider setting. Light, movement, material and atmosphere shape one connected design response.

Interiors
Buildings are experienced from the inside.
We shape space, light, material and atmosphere around how a place needs to function and how it should feel.
From a members’ gym within a listed building to college and cultural interiors, our interiors work is rooted in the building, the people who use it and the story the place already holds.

Heritage
We believe historic buildings require both imagination and restraint.
We work within complex heritage settings, including listed buildings, conservation areas and scheduled monuments.
