Sanei Hopkins Architects were formed in January 2002 by the award winning team of Amir Sanei & Abigail Hopkins. Their work ethos is to combine a ‘creative imagination’ with a ‘rational logic’. They enjoy facing challenges head on, with a desire to break new ground and resist compromise. Although a young practice, their work is mature and has been complimented for being innovative & witty. They specialise in providing diverse solutions to meet their clients aspirations.

Their work has been recognised nationally and internationally and were selected for ‘Europe 40 under 40’ in 2008 & ‘UK 40 under 40’ in 2005.
