AJ 40 under 40: Office S&M

The two AJ 40 under 40 architects are co-founders of Office S&M, which has earned a reputation for designing remarkable and joyful buildings
Hugh McEwen, 33, and Catrina Stewart, 35, met studying Part 2 at the Bartlett and founded Office S&M in 2013 as a platform to pursue ‘alternative practice in architecture’. Inspired by previous AJ 40 under 40 members AOC, FAT and Amin Taha, the two dedicate their work to celebrating the ‘colour, materiality, and narratives of the everyday’. Working across a variety of new-build, multi-unit housing, high street regeneration, and public realm projects, Office S&M has earned a name for itself designing remarkable, joyful buildings, which, like the practice’s founders, ‘always elicit a reaction’.
