Studiodare was established in 2003 by Ian Logan, after a lifetime making architecture for other people. The way the architect does things is private, but what we do can belong to everybody. We believe it takes a long time to be the architect of one's aspirations. The architect is the one who conveys the beauty of spaces, which is the very meaning of architecture. Think of meaningful space and you invent an environment, and it can be an invention. Areas serviced: Central Londonwww.studiodare.com23 Doughty Mews, WC1N 2PF
