New project

Factotum / fakˈtəʊtəm / n. Mid 16th century.

1. From latin FAC (do) and totum (the whole thing) 2. Translating roughly as `master of everything´

We believe that architecture can expand the way we live – and that it is our job to show you how.

We put a strong emphasis on the use of rich and tactile materials, quality of light, craft and the importance of detailing. We are bold propositional thinkers, and this allows us to bring delight to every project we do. We are collaborators to the core – essential to our process is our relationship with both clients and the network of talented craftsmen, makers and contractors beyond us. 

FACtotum was founded in 2016 by four friends after a summer of making architecture with ourbare hands. Before training as architects, we each had previous careers – Tim was a timber framer, Paloma an interior designer, and Georgie a journalist – and so doing ‘the whole thing’ is written into our DNA. 

We work on projects large and small, renovation and new build, in domestic, commercial, cultural and beyond. We do architecture, interior design, bespoke furniture design and more. We are experienced with listed buildings and buildings in conservation areas. We pride ourselves on a detailed understanding of project time frames, site constraints and budgets and bring rigor to the way we approach these realities. 

FACtotum sits on the RIBA Education Development Group, guest critic at Cambridge University, London Metropolitan University, UAL Central Saint Martins and Westminster University, as well as writing regularly for publications including the RIBA Journal.

Factotum helped me refurbish and redesign my split-level flat. They were fantastic! So creative, supportive and practical. Worked around my budget, helped me understand the process and sourced incredibly talented carpenters to complete the work. The place looks beautiful. Thanks team!
