What is Feilden Fowles?
Feilden Fowles is a UK architects practice founded in 2009 by Edmund Fowles and Fergus Feilden. Notable for cultural, educational and ecclesiastical projects.

Where will I work?
London studio at 8 Royal Street, SE1 7LL. The practice operates hybrid arrangements typical of London architects, with regular site visits to project sites across the UK.
What is the Feilden Fowles team like?
~26 architects, project architects, technical staff and support roles. Small practice with a strong design culture focused on cultural and civic work.
Work-Life Balance
Feilden Fowles have been working a 9-day-fortnight pattern since April 2022. Quote from their own published statement: "Free-days usually on Fridays unless impacted by bank holidays." The practice describes the aim as encouraging "a more energised and contented workforce" to support "professionalism, efficiency, quality, and timeliness."
The pattern applies to full-time staff. The arrangement has been in place for over three years at time of writing — clearly a permanent operating model, not a trial despite the original URL slug.
