Founded over 40 years ago, McLean Quinlan is a family-led architecture practice with studios in London and Winchester. The firm specialises in beautifully crafted homes and retreats, as well as cultural and hospitality projects across the UK and internationally. Each project is carefully attended to by a tight-knit team of architects and designers, supported by a trusted network of professionals and craftspeople.

McLean Quinlan is recognised for their ability to carefully curate warmth, texture, scale, and light to give each space a distinctive and tangible character. Using natural materials and traditional processes in a highly crafted, contemporary way, the practice places detail, tactility, and sensory experience at the heart of its work.

Sustainability is central to the practice’s ethos. McLean Quinlan is mindful of the environmental impact of its work, specifying low embodied carbon materials and high-performance sustainable technologies, and has been an early adopter of Passivhaus principles to ensure energy efficiency and comfort.

Deeply informed by local landscapes, vernacular traditions, and materials, McLean Quinlan’s buildings tell the story of a place, enhancing their surroundings. This approach has supported planning success in challenging contexts, including National Parks, National Landscapes, and listed buildings.
