Independent thinkers, collaborative nature.
Studio Pena Profle Picture
We’re a collective of independent thinkers, led by Greg, who believe architecture should be about custodianship, not iconicity. We think like artists; our concepts are deeply contextual, balancing integrity with an ingenuity that reflects the ebb and flow of persons and placing, craftsmanship and clever use of materials inspired by its surroundings.

You’re here because you want something different. To you, spaces are an open-ended story; an ever-evolving collection of moments in time grounded in a sense of place, and you’re poised to write its next chapter. 

Like you, we care. We know our stuff, we’re hands-on and do what we say when we say we’re going to do it, just as you’d expect from an RIBA Chartered Architect. The result? Contemporary yet comforting, sensorial spaces that whisper of what's been, designed for what’s to come; your story written, collaboratively, into the legacy of your build.

About Greg

In a career spanning million pound residential projects, commercial builds, museums, and galleries, Greg’s worked on architectural projects of the highest order. After graduating with a BA (Hons), a Diploma and master’s degree in architecture from Kingtson University, his professional career began in Madrid at the studios of Mansilla y Tuñon, where he inherited a grounded, intellectual design ethic.

Whilst associate at Hugh Broughton Architects Greg led large, culturally significant projects including the refurbishment of the TUC building in Central London and the much acclaimed Portland Collection gallery at Welbeck; awarded five RIBA Awards plus the Silver American Architecture Award. He founded Studio Peña (then Just Another Architect) in 2020.

Be Just

Decent, respectful, fair. Being Just means doing the right thing, by the clients, the environment, the contractors, the fabric of the building, the budget. We take pride in our work and do what we say we’re going to do.


Always Collaborate

We’re a network of highly experienced experts (no juniors), who’ll listen to ensure you’re heard, and take the lead to give you peace of mind from the initial conversations, through to the moment we hand back the keys.

Think like an Artist

We don’t do boxes, trends, or build the same thing twice. All projects begin with a concept that anchors people, place, past, present, and future. Materiality has meaning. Constraints aren’t limitations - they’re catalysts for cunning, clever, creativity.

Hands-on

…in every sense. Designs are textured, tactile, they invite touch. Unexpected bumps in the road are resolved it in real time, be it picking up the phone to planners or taking a pencil to a plastered wall on-site.

If you're embarking on a project and want to honour the building's story and yours — not just what it is, but what it could become — we'd love to talk.
