Who to contact
Tom Lewith
Founding Director
BSc (Hons), MA RCA, RIBA
Tom is a registered architect who trained at The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL (2000-3), and the Royal College of Art (2004-6).
Tom’s strength is in the early stages of concept design, and he believes in the importance of getting to the heart of a concept, then testing it through diagrams. This is an early checking point in all of TDO’s projects, forming a key part of the studio’s design process. Tom prioritises the practice’s client relationships and how TDO can add value through concept design.
Doug Hodgson
Founding Director
BSc (Hons), DipArch, ARB
Doug is a registered architect whose formal training first began at Central St Martins (1999-2000) and continued at The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL (2000-7).
Doug is experienced in working collaboratively with other architects and designers to engage in critical conversation at all stages of design. His experience teaching Cambridge University undergraduates (2015–18) has highlighted the importance of communication with colleagues, clients and collaborators throughout the design process. Doug applies this skill to develop the subtlety detail of TDO schemes from the earliest stages of concept design through to project completion.
