David Kohn Architects is a young London-based practice offering a full range of architecture and urban design services. Current projects include a shortlisted entry for a zero-carbon arts centre in the Thames Gateway, two shortlisted entries to design sustainable timber housing in Stavanger, Norway, and a new contemporary art gallery in London’s West End

We aim to achieve excellence in design through creative dialogue with our clients, consultant teams, contractors and end users. Architectural innovation is cultivated in the office by research into materials, construction techniques and the cultural contexts of each project. We enjoy the challenge of working to tight budgets and have considerable industry experience of delivering projects on time.

David Kohn studied architecture at the University of Cambridge and at Columbia University, New York as a Fulbright Scholar. Prior to founding DKA, he was an Associate at Caruso St John Architects in charge of the Museum of Childhood and Gagosian Gallery, both of which received RIBA Awards. He is currently a design tutor at London Metropolitan University and has previously taught at the University of Cambridge, the London School of Economics and the University of Bath. David has recently been appointed a member of Newham Council’s Design Review Panel to provide design guidance on key developments in the borough.
