Rihl Procter

At Procter-Rihl architects, we are dedicated to crafting innovative, sustainable, and contextually responsive architecture that not only enhances the built environment but also contributes to a more environmentally conscious future. Our team of expert architects, led by directors Christopher Procter and Fernando Rihl, brings together a deep understanding of architecture, urban design, and climate responsiveness.

Climate Emergency Architecture

Our practice specialises in urban realm and residential projects in the UK and the USA. We strive to be both climate and culturally responsive by engaging with history, context, and locality while producing creative and forward-thinking architecture. We apply passive principles such as insulation and orientation to reduce maintenance costs while improving comfort for occupants. Many of our projects use Modern Methods of Construction such as offsite fabrication to minimize site construction time and waste.

Climate-Resilient Design

Our approach to architecture is informed by the urgent need to address climate change. We believe that architecture has a critical role to play in reducing carbon emissions and mitigating the impacts of climate change. Our design philosophy is built around the principles of sustainability, energy efficiency, and environmental responsiveness. We incorporate passive design strategies, such as natural ventilation, insulation, and shading, to minimize the environmental footprint of our projects.
