Russell Taylor Architects – Designers in the Classical Tradition, based in London and Cornwall
Russell Taylor Architects are a small and friendly practice established in 2005 by Russell Taylor, a renowned expert on Georgian, Classical and traditional architecture. Russell is versed in all period architectural languages and he leads a skilled, experienced team with a wealth of knowledge in the use of traditional building materials and techniques. They design beautiful, elegant homes in harmony with the specificity of their context that are convenient, sustainable and cost effective.
Russell Taylor Architects undertake work throughout the country, in particular London and the South West, and occasionally abroad.
Principles
Russell Taylor Architects' work encompasses: new houses, refurbishment of Listed and historic buildings, conservation, extensions and interior design. Uniquely, they design down to the smallest detail - not just façades, doors and windows - but also the elements of good architecture: staircases, chimneypieces, panelling, cornices, fixed furniture, and occasionally light fittings, ironmongery, carpets etc.
Every component is a bespoke design, specific and appropriate for its historical and geographical context and tailored to the style and taste of our clients.
It is this ability to get the details right that makes a design convincing and beautiful, giving it life and personality, appropriate for the 21st century yet timeless.

Tom Parker Bowles's favourite recipe: French onion soup
This dish is no mere Gallic broth, rather pure bonhomie in a bowl — a boozy, beefy, allium-scented masterpiece that cries out for the chill depths of winter
