Wignall & Moore is a RIBA Chartered practice that includes architects, designers and artisans. It produces expressive buildings, places and unique installations that aim to bring joy. The practice offers original designs based on an appreciation of, and sensitivity to, architecture, art and history.
Who we are
Established in 2017 by James and Bradley, the studio has six principal members with a wide range of interests, skills and ambitions. They are supported by a team of specialist collaborators operating between their central London design studio and Yorkshire workshops.
James Wignall
Chosen by Wallpaper* magazine as one of the world’s brightest new talents in Architecture. James trained in the UK, winning RIBA awards and nominations before qualifying at the University of Cambridge. James has extensive experience with both artists and architects including Royal Academicians Thomas Heatherwick CBE and the late Will Alsop OBE.
Bradley Moore
Bradley grew up being trained by his father in a multi-generational family business of carpentry and construction. After training under leading British architect, Tony Fretton, he received his qualifications in architecture and engineering. Bradley has broad experience in bespoke residential projects, global briefs for a multinational design agency and leading civic projects for an AJ 100 practice.
Affiliations
The studio has longstanding affiliations in both the art and architecture sectors. On the one hand we are a RIBA Chartered architecture practice, on the other we have trained at the royal college of art. A number of our affiliations and past clients can be seen below.
Craft & Heritage
The appreciation of craft and heritage is at the heart of everything we do. Whether a bespoke joinery detail or the concept design for a public art commission, we are respectful of the past, knowing where we came from, but with the confidence to create something new.
Quality & Service
We are passionate about providing a professional service for our clients and have a track record of delivering projects on time and on budget. A well-considered approach to value is critical for any project, we take a holistic approach at each stage of a project to ensure that cost and quality are optimised.
Testimonials
“One of the happiest building sites I’ve ever worked on. Wignall & Moore have design flair, an eye for detail and even more impressively the ability to keep morale and spirits high even during difficult construction works. As a project manager this is often the key to projects being delivered on time and on budget. Working closely with Wignall &Moore from conception to completion allowed for the project to run seamlessly, with every detail thought through and considered with the client’s best interests at heart.”
Grant Le Roy – Royal Warrant Holders K R Hannaford Ltd
“Working with Wignall & Moore was an exciting and rewarding experience. My project had been carefully planned and as a team they were thoughtful and reflective throughout. They created a wonderfully collaborative environment and managed their site team and the construction phase in a calm and respectful way. Their professionalism ensured that my project was delivered on time and to budget and I am delighted with the result.”
Azu Fletcher
“Having Brad, James and the team was a delight. They were very open, always including us in discussions regarding design ideas, materials, time scales etc. They are interested in the quirky and in less usual approaches and styles whilst still respectful of real-world constraints.”
Nicola Ward
“A mid-spring night’s dream. Cliché as it may be, that is the only way I can describe “The King and The Minotaur”. The fact is, 5 minutes inside and you forget all about London I felt like I was in someone’s cottage, ready to see meadows and lakes when the exit door opened. This was by far one of the most interesting, original and pleasurable experiences I’ve ever had here in London. Or anywhere else, for that matter…”
