Jamie Fobert is a London-based architect and designer. Since he established Jamie Fobert Architects in 1996, Jamie has consistently produced innovative and inspiring architecture in projects ranging from individual houses to high quality retail and significant public buildings for the arts. During this time, the practice has won a number of major public commissions for cultural organizations including the new Tate St Ives in Cornwall, extensions to Kettle’s Yard in Cambridge and, presently in the design phase, the National Portrait Gallery in London. Jamie Fobert Architects has grown into a substantial architectural practice with an outstanding reputation and has garnered several awards including the RIBA and English Heritage ‘Award for a building in an historic context’ as well as the Manser Medal. In 2018, Tate St Ives was awarded the Art Fund’s Museum of the Year and shortlisted for the RIBA Stirling Prize and last year the practice won the BD Architect of the Year Gold Award, in recognition of our work on public buildings. Jamie has developed a very careful language of form and materiality that responds with great specificity to every project and its place. He makes architecture that is built with and around light, driven by functionality, ease of use, and the sociability that architecture can foster. Through intense and careful consideration of these issues, he is able to arrive at an architecture of practicality and beauty. Jamie was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2020 and he is currently a Trustee of Camden Arts Centre and the Architecture Foundation.
