Magri Williams is an architecture and interior design studio working across the Cotswolds and London. We specialise in high-end residential projects, including one-off houses, extensions and full home renovations. 

Our approach is defined by clarity, restraint and careful use of materials. We consider architecture and interiors together, shaping spaces through light, proportion and texture to create homes that feel calm, coherent and enduring.

Each project is unique and our studio specialises in tailoring our services to meet our client’s requirements. Throughout each project, we will maintain an ongoing conversation, so our clients are guided through a building project with as much or as little involvement as they would like. With each conversation we will listen to their requirements, bringing our experience to benefit the project, whilst creating an enjoyable working relationship. 

We start each project with a workshop to understand our client’s brief and preferences. At this meeting, we discuss the brief, programme and budget to ensure they align from the start. Following this, we present at each RIBA workstage to review the developing design. This continues on site, where we review the design and site progress with the contractor on a weekly basis. We believe this approach results in a well considered and resolved project. 

We appreciate that for most people, a building project is the biggest investment of a lifetime. In response, we take on a limited number of projects a year so we can focus our attention fully on a project. To support this, we also have a strong network of suppliers and makers, which we work with to ensure a high level of design. 

Our holistic approach sees us work through all RIBA work stages, which we feel is key to deliver a beautiful and well considered design. To help you understand the stages of a building project please see The Process section of our website.

Magri Williams is an architecture and interior design studio run by Joe Magri and Alice Williams, a husband and wife duo. 

Collectively we studied and worked in London before setting up Magri Williams in 2018. We set up the studio together so that we could share our ideas and joint passion for design, with the aim to deliver considered and beautiful projects. 

Whilst each project is led by either Joe or Alice, behind the scenes, we are both actively engaged in all projects. We take a collaborative approach throughout the design process so that each project benefits from multiple perspectives and frequent design reviews.

Working with our environment is a key principle of our studio. Our work is rooted in locality and our design development takes a research based approach to find materials based on their proximity to site and environmental impact. We are committed to better the energy performance of our buildings and find sustainable solutions to our designs. 

We are interested in the benefit that architecture can bring to human wellbeing and the human senses; touch, sight and hearing. We believe that the use of natural materials and considered layouts can provide calm, tactile and warm spaces that rouse a human response and creates enjoyable homes.
