Andy Matthews
Director
Andy wants to continually improve our knowledge, services and ways of working so we can do better for our people, clients and their projects.
He combines pragmatism and technical ability with relentless curiosity and ingenuity to add value throughout the design process, from that initial sketch to solving problems on site. And he's passionate about collaboration real collaboration. Because it's only by working with the people who will be using the buildings for years to come that we will leave the built environment better than we found it.

Andy Matthews Studio was instructed to design a cricket pavilion for Streatham & Marlborough Cricket Club. Andy and his team quickly understood that key priorities of the club, the guidance from Sport England and the budgetary constraints. He designed a stunning building which is incredibly efficient and sits beautifully in its surrounds.
Always very approachable, he has helped to value engineer items and has generously donated his time to meet the members of the cricket club, leading tours of the build in the summer.
Highly recommend Andy, Stephen and the rest of the team. They have been a pleasure to work with and clearly have spades of talent!

We had plans drawn up for kitchen and loft extensions by Andy and his team. They were absolutely brilliant, creative and ingenious. We certainly would never have thought of using the space in the way Andy laid it out.
They worked closely with us and listened intently to our needs.
I can't endorse them strongly enough, as they delivered on all of their promises and have solid ethics. Bravo.

We had a great second meeting with Andy and Chris today to discuss renovation/ modernisation of our much loved 1960s home. They were genuinely excited to hear the story of the house and reminded us why we had fallen for the place initially. The team balanced taking on our ideas, bringing inspirational images and steering us towards well considered solutions - robust conversations unfolded over initial plans alongside laughter and playfulness with the kids and the dog included in the process. Looking forward to the next stage.

Andy and the team came up with lots of ingenious ways to transform our "quaint" and "unique" home, a former 19th century bakery, into a space for modern living with room for five + a dog. There are so many great ideas from repurposing the existing space to adding more. What's more, Andy and Stephen are fun, friendly and easy to work with.
