S333 Today
Founding partners Dominic Papa and Jonathan Woodroffe lead the practice. Their commitment to delivering design solutions that resolve not only the architectural concerns but also the wider planning, environmental and infrastructural issues is shared by a multinational team of architects and urban designers based in London. S333 is currently working on a range of urban and architectural projects in Europe and Asia.
A Holistic Approach to Design
S333's design philosophy - "Architecture at an Urban Scale and Urban Design at an Architectural Scale" - reflects the studio's conviction to embrace the multiplicity of urban scales in the design and reasoning of all projects. With this approach, S333 delivers urban solutions to masterplans and building commissions that bring added value to the built environment - socially, economically and environmentally.

In 2007 the studio's first solo exhibition 'On the Urban Designing of Architecture' was shown at La Galerie in Paris, DAZ in Berlin and the NLA in London. Most recently, S333's work was exhibited in the 'Futuros de la Vivienda Social en 7 Ciudades' in Madrid in 2010.
