Strey Architects is an award winning practice with a fresh, original and honest approach to design.
It is our objective to create comfortable spaces, through creative design, by listening to the client’s needs.

Our Vision:

Strey Architects create comfortable and sensible spaces for all, whilst protecting the environment & the earth’s limited resources.

We at Strey Architects, utilise & optimise the natural elements of the site- & local climatic conditions, through the use of passive design- and tried & tested sustainable design principals and try to protect the natural resources of the earth through the re-purposing existing buildings through recycling- & utilising existing materials & natural products where possible.

Who Are We:

To us, every project is unique, and a specific understanding of the owner’s personal requirements and the characteristics of the site, is fundamental to every bespoke design.

Design is a process of combining the architectural fundamentals of flow, space, light, form and aesthetics, with practicality & good value. We believe that the buildings that result enhance their natural- and built environment, and contribute to the occupant’s experience.
