Konishi Gaffney Architects

Konishi Gaffney Architects make beautiful buildings that are simple and modest, creating spaces that enrich people’s lives. They aspire to qualities of relaxed restraint and quiet beauty which often means simplifying and paring back to find the essence of a problem or the core of an architectural idea. They started their practice by working on small projects, exhibitions, new houses, and extensions. They focus on movement and function; light and the position of the sun; materials and the way it makes people feel; the connections between inside and out. They delight in construction detail and love practical, natural, and sustainable materials.
