About us
Studio Vernacular is an architectural practice working from Greater Manchester in the North West, England. Founders Rob + Ollie met at Univeristy in 2017 and have since gone on to develop a varied portfolio of workacross the UK ranging from; one-off contempory homes, newbuild housing developments, city-centre high rise developments and listed building renovations.
Studio Vernacular brings together our passions for the history of buildings, the celebration of traditional construction methods + architectural context - typically through the smaller scales of project from new-build dwellings to home extentions and interior renovations.
How we work

Every project begins with understanding you (the client), finding out about your vision, lifestyle, budget and more.
