studio HANDS is an architecture and design practice based in Camberwell, South London, founded by Henry McNeil and Sonya Batsova following a series of successful collaborations. Our work spans from product design to large-scale architectural projects, driven by a hands-on approach that emphasises prototyping and material experimentation before scaling ideas.

Before establishing the studio, we gained experience in leading large and mid-sized practices, delivering projects across the UK and internationally.

At studio HANDS, we prioritise innovation and collaboration, crafting thoughtful, high-quality designs that remain relevant both today and in the future.
