friendship turned partnership.
LXW Architects is led by Partners Liam Chamings and William Baker-Jones, whose friendship has grown into a collaborative architectural practice.
Although a relatively new studio, together we have over two decades of experience, delivering projects across residential, commercial, healthcare, and defence sectors - from small-scale extensions to multi-million pound facilities.
By combining architectural design with award-winning digital innovation, we offer clients a seamless service built on collaboration, technical excellence, and a passion for creating practical spaces that enhance everyday life.
