Feix & Merlin architects is a boutique architecture studio based in London, co-founded by Julia Feix and Tarek Merlin in 2006. Since its creation Feix & Merlin have consistently produced work that is magical and full of mystery, trying to keep an emphasis on work that is progressive, unusual and whimsical.

What do we stand for? Well, there are a few things we won’t stand for. We won’t stand for the lazy, the obvious or the mundane. We will always push ourselves to find the unusual, the innovative solution, and we work hard throughout a project to ensure that we never lose sight of these early aspirations. We won’t impose a design aesthetic. Instead we respond to what we find out in client discussions, on site visits, and through consultation with local institutions and by looking at established ways of life. We won’t shy away from tackling the wider context. Any project has an impact far greater than its actual site boundaries, and we are keen to explore the essence of any local area. We have developed a holistic approach taking into account the client brief, budget, planning guidelines etc. but also taking a steer from the wider context, the cultural and habitual elements of local life. We stand for a sense of uniqueness. We stand for delight and enjoyment; truth and mystery; honesty and deception; texture, colour, light, humour, wit
