Dominic Mckenzie Architects
Since leaving his post as director at Alison Brooks Architects, where he worked on several award-winning schemes, Dominic McKenzie has headed up his own London-based practice, which he founded in 2011. With a focus on residential projects, this design-led firm calls on a wide array of influences, from contemporary art and architecture to the surrounding urban cityscape. Recent projects include the mirror-effect, steel-clad Eidolon House in Highgate and the Bower House in Islington with its glass-clad rear extension, while a new build house and a residential extension, both in Hampstead, are among the firm’s current works.
