CBA is an emerging London-based practice committed to producing buildings that are inventive, inclusive and have a positive impact on the wider community. Founded in 2016 by Clementine Blakemore, the practice enjoys making architecture rooted in place and shaped by context - in terms of local materials, climate and craftsmanship.
Having self-built a number of their early projects, and led a series of design/build workshops, including for the Architectural Association at Hooke Park in Dorset, they take great pleasure in the process of transforming design ideas into built form. St. John’s Music Pavilion, completed in 2019 for a state primary school in Buckinghamshire, was shortlisted for the Wood Awards, AJ Small Projects Awards and the RIBA MacEwen Award. Other clients include the Design Museum, the Dorset Wildlife Trust, and the UK Green Building Council.
