What we do
Konishi Gaffney are a leading Scottish architecture practice known for creating award-winning and impactful buildings. We work with clients and sector experts - and with artists and makers - on innovative projects encompassing architecture, landscape, people and art. Drawing upon more than thirty years of experience working in the UK, Europe and Japan, we deliver cost-effective, sustainable architecture that balances rigour with invention and flair.

How we do it
We love how things are made and learning something new with each commission. And we think of context - the physical, cultural and social environment in which each project sits – as a unique source of design inspiration. Our goal is simple: to make buildings and places that enrich all of our lives.

We focus on movement and function, on light and the position of the sun; on materials and the way they make us feel - and the connections between inside and out. We delight in construction detail and careful project management, and we love practical, natural and sustainable materials and collaborative friendly teams.

Recognition
Our work is widely recognized for its quality, featuring in publications such as the AJ, Dezeen, RIBA Journal, and DETAIL. Konishi Gaffney have received all of Scotland’s major architecture prizes, including a Saltire Housing Award, a RIAS Award, and the Grand Prix at the Scottish Design Awards. We have been twice shortlisted for the RIAS Doolan Prize, awarded for the best building in Scotland.
