Our Story
“Thank you very much for a first class, friendly and effective service, which met our restricted timescales and met all of our criteria.”
NHS Property Services
Studio Four Architects was founded in 1992 at Tollgate Estates in Romsey by George Rankin and Nick Lockyer, with Mike Brownlow joining in 1993 and Steve Hole in 1995.
The practice has steadily expanded its base and workload and now enjoys a wide variety of projects. Alongside significant healthcare experience, we have completed many projects in other sectors including education, housing, leisure, retail/commercial, domestic, historic, emergency services, church, marine, industrial and community-based schemes.
The Winchester office was opened in 1997 to serve a growing number of clients in the Winchester and M3 corridor area, and is run by Mike Brownlow.
In 2012, Studio Four Specialist Projects was formed to provide services focussed around conservation, specialist architectural projects and building surveying, and is run from the Romsey office by our director Phil Amey.
In 2013 the practice merged with Chris Edmond Associates, based in central Southampton, which is now a division of Studio Four run by our director Gareth Jenkins. Whilst specialising in the residential sector, the office is also involved in community schemes including yacht clubs, golf clubs and churches.
All three offices work closely together to share resources, expertise and training opportunities.

A great project and I must say one of the smoothest led projects in many years of working with the RNLI.
