The award winning team of Sanei Hopkins Architects was formed in January 2002 by Amir Sanei and Abigail Hopkins. Having graduated from the Architectural Association and Columbia University respectively, the couple met while working at Hopkins' Architects on a number of prestigious and award winning buildings.

Our practice continues the ethos of the Hopkins office which combines a creative imagination with a rational logic. We see ourselves as bent on facing challenges head on with a desire to break new ground and resist compromise. Our work to date; described as 'Grown up Architecture' by Will Alsop has been complimented for using materials in innovative and unusual ways with both wit and sensibility. We have also been selected for the AJ/Corus '40 under 40' award.
