Jonathan founded his design practice in 2000 having previously worked for David Chipperfield Architects and Fletcher Priest Architects. Jonathan Tuckey Design has garnered an international reputation for working with existing buildings and structures. The studio has become an expert in combining contemporary design with layers of built heritage to explore the ways in which old and new can co-exist and elevate one another. The studio has worked on a number of commercial, cultural and residential projects across Europe, developing a clear set of principles and approaches to deal with historic and contemporary architecture.
The studio embraces an architecture of change and an acute awareness of style and context underpins everything it does. The juxtaposition of contemporary elements with original features creates a dialogue between different eras and allows buildings to establish a new purpose. Re-using existing built stock is the most sustainable approach to the future development of our cities and countryside, retaining a sense of collective heritage.
The practice’s clients share their fondness for materials, craftsmanship and proportion as well as the soulfulness and idiosyncrasies of historic architecture. For this reason, the practice set up Building on the Built, a programme of exhibitions and talks that explores unfamiliar architectural responses to existing structures from around the world and close to home.
