James Grayley set up his practice in 2012 after ten years working at Dow Jones.
Based in London and Bath, the practice undertakes meticulous research to unravel the built and social history of a site, enabling it to embed its proposals in the culture of the place. James Grayley Architects focuses on low-tech, high performance construction, adopting a fabric-first approach to creating robust and adaptable projects. It enjoys collaborating with skilled crafts-people to explore the visual and technical possibilities of natural and local materials. Recent projects include Garboldisham Studio, a space for a landscape artist set within a walled garden in Norfolk, informed by the design of George Gilbert Scott Jr’s only country house, which once stood on the site, and Printroom, an artist-led gallery in rural Suffolk, which converts a series of abandoned agricultural buildings in a contemporary manner that engages with the local vernacular. http://www.jamesgrayley.com/
