About

Laurence York is an ARB registered architect based between London and Devon. 

After graduating from the undergraduate degree programme at the University of Plymouth in 2010 he worked in the studio of award winning architect Stan Bolt, where he produced bespoke contemporary dwellings in spectacular locations around the Southwest of England.

He then graduated with First Class Honours from the Masters programme at the University of Greenwich, London, having studied under Simon Herron, Susanne Isa, Nicholas Szczepaniak and Jonathan Hagos, where he also received a number of awards for both design and draftsmanship.

Laurence went on to work in the globally-renowned office of Norman Foster, working internationally on museums, skyscrapers, city plans and residential projects. 

Afterwards he transitioned to the smaller scale, working for a number of years at notable AJ 40 Under 40 and RIBA award winning studio Freehaus, leading projects ranging from community spaces in delicate historic contexts, to bespoke residences for private clients, before going on to work more closely with construction projects for a mid-sized developer, leading boutique hotel developments and the delivery of multi-unit residential developments. 

In 2022 Laurence co-founded York+Kane Architects with Samuel Kane, with a focus on high-quality, domestic projects in London and the West Country.
