Kettle Collective

Welcome to Kettle Collective, an international, multi-award-winning team of architects and design specialists with a global reach and local representation in Europe, North Africa, Asia, and throughout the Middle East. Our Edinburgh-based design studio was founded in 2012 by long-term colleagues, Tony Kettle and Colin Bone. We strongly believe that the spaces we live in directly influence the quality of our lives, so we've made it our mission to create spaces that have meaningful narratives, with a true sense of place and purpose.

Our Approach to Design

At Kettle Collective, we take a collaborative and iterative approach to design. We believe that the best design comes from a deep understanding of the client's vision and the context in which the building will exist. We spend time thinking about the underlying culture, typography, and key elements that influence design. We draw inspiration from nature and mathematics to create landmarks that respond to a world where energy is the most important issue of our time. Our bespoke architecture instils an authentic sense of place into innovative, sustainable buildings.

Our Services

We offer a range of services that cater to our clients' diverse needs. Our expertise includes:

• Architecture: We design beautiful buildings that are fundamentally different. We challenge the brief of each project, which lets the building reinvent itself as an inspiring piece of art.
• Interior Design: We create innovative, thought-provoking solutions that improve people's quality of life. We focus on how people use spaces and attention to detail to create experiential journeys through time and place.
• Landscape Architecture: We design spaces that connect the story of the building to the natural environment. Our aim is to elevate the overall atmosphere of your development, so that communities can fully immerse themselves in the design experience.
• Urban Design & Masterplanning: We shape the setting for life through the designing of buildings, spaces, and landscape for living, working, and playing. Our goal is to create collections of buildings that work together in a beautiful way.

Our Values

At Kettle Collective, we value:

• Curiosity: We spend our time thinking of other ways to do things, because we're interested in why things are, not what things are.
• Sustainability: We believe that sustainable design is central to everything we do. We look to global cultures and nature's own solutions to develop sustainable design practices that reduce impact, enhance user experience, and celebrate a sense of place.
• Collaboration: We work closely with engineers and local specialist advisors in your region to get below the surface of every project, bringing out the finest elements of beauty and elegance in your ideas.
