About Karakusevic Carson Architects

Formed by Paul Karakusevic, Karakusevic Carson Architects are multi-award winning specialists. They operate at the forefront of public and social housing design and major public projects across London and the UK.

Their project portfolio includes masterplans, urban regeneration programmes, mixed-use and tenure housing and estate renewal projects. They range from £3m to £250m in value, with larger masterplan projects ranging from £100m to £2.5bn. They have an impressive track record of designing projects in the most challenging locations that have previously stalled. These include the London Boroughs of Hackney, Camden, Barking and Dagenham, Enfield, Lambeth, Harrow and Lewisham. Many of these projects are now on site and completing in 2017.

They have been appointed as panel architects and masterplanners for many leading public sector bodies and housing associations. Namely, twelve London Boroughs, the Greater London Authority/Transport for London, Homes and Communities Agency and Olympic Legacy panels. As experts at making difficult projects happen, they successfully navigate emerging funding structures and national design standards to create exemplary housing and public buildings. These, in turn, reflect a unique sense of place, are financially viable and can stand the test of time.

A design and strategy led practice, formed with the sole intent to raise standards in public housing design and public buildings in the UK after 40 years of neglect. Their team understands the tough challenges faced by the local communities on the large housing estates in London, setting out to adapt, repair or replace what doesn’t work with ambitious designs for homes and places that do whilst evolving and refining housing and building types with each scheme.
