Wright & Wright Architects is a British architectural firm, founded in 1994 by Sandy and Clare Wright MBE. The firm is based in Camden Town, London.[1]

Background

The Royal College of Art Library, London

The practice initially focused on housing projects.[2] Since winning a competition in 1995 to design the Royal College of Art's library in central London, Wright & Wright have undertaken projects for higher education and culture, including a new Library and Study Centre for St John's College, Oxford, Longwall Library for Magdalen College, Oxford and the Women's Library[3] in London. Through this work the practice has delivered projects for institutions such as the Victoria and Albert Museum and the National Gallery.[4]

The practice is currently working on projects at Lambeth Palace, where it has designed a new Library and Archive for the Church of England,[5] and the Museum of the Home, London.[6]
