SimpsonHaugh Architects

SimpsonHaugh’s passion for responsible, uplifting, and beautiful design has informed their approach since 1987, when Ian Simpson and Rachel Haugh were united by a shared belief that innovative architectural thought has the power to shape and transform our cities.

Reinforcing these guiding principles across a portfolio of work ranging from interiors to masterplans, SimpsonHaugh apply a creative and bespoke approach to every opportunity. Collaborating with aspirational clients, communities, and design teams, they harness their passion, knowledge, and expertise to evolve powerful and pragmatic solutions. Remaining acutely aware of the impact of their decisions, they embrace the opportunity to demonstrate that high-quality design brings added value.

With Rachel and Ian personally involved in each project, their guiding principles continue to inform and direct the ambition and quality of their work. SimpsonHaugh’s talented architects, designers, visualisers, model makers and support team all contribute to rigorously delivering architecture of the highest design quality.
