DGN Studio | Enduring Architecture & Interiors

DGN Studio is an architecture practice based in London, founded by Daniel Goodacre and Geraldine Ng. The studio is recognised for its commitment to creating enduring interiors and architecture, a philosophy that prioritises longevity, material honesty, and functional clarity. DGN Studio works predominantly in the residential sector, creating spaces that respond sensitively to their urban context while introducing bold, tactile material palettes. A notable project, the Concrete Plinth House in Hackney, illustrates their ability to transform disjointed spaces into minimalist, light-filled homes using robust materials like concrete to anchor the design. Another project, the Stone and Steel House in Highbury, showcases their innovative use of stone bricks and stainless steel to achieve both structural efficiency and aesthetic contrast. The studio’s approach is research-driven, often exploring the environmental and aesthetic implications of specific materials, such as the low-carbon benefits of stone over clay bricks. By focusing on craftsmanship and the play of natural light, DGN Studio creates environments that are both contemporary and timeless. Their work frequently involves complex renovations and extensions where they reveal and celebrate the raw character of the building's fabric. DGN Studio continues to influence the London architectural landscape with projects that balance delicate detailing with structural permanence.
