Designing spaces that care for people and the planet
Our Vision and Approach
ABQ Studio is an architectural practice based in East Sussex, established in 2002 by Sean Albuquerque. We are driven by a passion for contemporary design and a deep understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities presented by each project. Our approach is collaborative and holistic, encompassing every element from master planning to furniture design, while maintaining a focus on budget and schedule.
Extensive Expertise
Our team boasts extensive experience in various sectors, including historic building conservation. We have worked on projects ranging from Grade II listed barns to Scheduled Ancient Monuments, applying our sensitive understanding of heritage to contemporary contexts. We believe that every project, regardless of scale or budget, deserves our full attention and dedication.
Attention to Detail and Craft
Our meticulous attention to detail is evident in our work. We take pride in collaborating with specialist consultants, subcontractors, and makers to produce meticulously crafted projects that showcase the highest level of craftsmanship. This philosophy aligns perfectly with our human-centered approach to architecture, where every element is carefully considered to create meaningful and lasting spaces.
Eclectic Portfolio
Our design portfolio showcases projects throughout the southeast of England and beyond, including Europe, Africa, and North America. We firmly believe that good architecture is contextual, and we celebrate the unique character of each location through our designs. We eschew rigid stylistic boundaries, allowing our work to evolve from a diverse range of influences.
A Commitment to Sustainability
We are deeply committed to responsible and sustainable design practices. We prioritize materials and construction methods that minimize environmental impact and respect the planet's resources.
