Syte Architects

Projects

Syte Architects was established in 2000 by Oliver Barsoum and Rob Whitlock. Syte Architects is a design led practice with a particular interest in creating clean contemporary spaces.

We have a preference for an architecture of simple forms and elegant proportions that allow the qualities of material and light to become evident, and create buildings with a material presence and a rich experience.

Our aim is to create an architectural expression that emerges from a careful consideration of each site’s characteristics alongside the requirements of each individual client. Within the office, each project is dealt with by a director, and is the subject of regular design reviews where the entire office design team are able to contribute to the scheme’s development. This enables us to create a thorough and considered response to each individual project and design brief.

The design process places a strong emphasis on an understanding of building materials and the construction process. Alongside these components the client’s brief and budget are key factors in the design process. We have a varied client base that includes companies, developers, charities and private individuals. The majority of our appointments are secured through repeat commissions or recommendations.

We worked with Rob Whitlock of Syte Architects to provide a kitchen extension to our early Edwardian townhouse in Lewisham. Syte designed the extension, handled applications for permission and managed the build. We chose Syte after consulting several architects. We picked Syte because the company presence was stylish and mature, because we liked Rob's presentation and ideas, and because Rob himself came across well. Syte are professional, knowledgeable and collaborate well with their clients and partners. We were intimately involved with the design process and were most pleased with the resulting design. Rob found a great contracting team to do the building work. Rob's sensible, consensual approach to problems that arise was very useful when dealing with local authorities, neighbours and some of our more problematic subcontractors.

Fantastic design and great collaboration and communication. Oliver and Pamela were a joy to work with. Attention to details and close management of all items was a saving grace.
