Kettle Collective

Kettle Collective Award-winning architecture and design studio creating innovative, human-centered, and sustainable spaces across the UK, Middle East & Asia.

Find out more here: www.kettle.co Kettle Collective is a multi-award-winning multidisciplinary design studio founded in 2012 by Tony Kettle and Colin Bone. The practice operates internationally, with offices in Edinburgh, London, Dubai, Muscat, and a recently opened studio in New Cairo, working as one connected team across all locations. Collaboration sits at the heart of how Kettle Collective wor

ks. Projects are developed around a round-table approach, bringing together designers, engineers, cost consultants, and specialist partners to form a bespoke team tailored to each brief. Ideas are shared openly, challenged constructively, and shaped collectively. Rather than simply responding to a brief, the studio works closely with clients to refine it—asking the right questions early to uncover stronger, more meaningful design outcomes. This process leads to clear, cohesive concepts that are carried consistently from initial idea through to delivery. Design at Kettle Collective is driven by storytelling, informed by a cross-fertilisation of cultures, experience, and perspectives. The studio values original thinking and remains open to new ideas and emerging technologies, using advanced tools and BIM workflows to support innovation and precision throughout the design and construction process. Above all, Kettle Collective believes that well-designed spaces have a direct impact on the quality of people’s lives. The studio approaches its work seriously, but not solemnly—fostering a friendly, collaborative environment that values curiosity, clarity, and a sense of humour along the way. Kettle Collective’s work has been recognised internationally, with awards including Best Future Tourism and Leisure Building Middle East (2014), Most Sustainable Building Middle East (2014 and 2016), Best Future Residential Building Middle East (2015), the Architecture Prize from the Royal Scottish Academy, and the SEPA One Planet Award at the Scottish Business Awards (2016). In 2016, on Her Majesty The Queen’s 90th birthday, the practice received The Queen’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade, followed by a second Queen’s Award in 2021 for Enterprise in Sustainable Development.

To mark World Photography Day, we’re reflecting on the role photography plays not just in documenting architecture, but in shaping how we see and understand it.

Across Ripple Retreat, Lakhta Tower, Majid Al Futtaim Mosque and Renfrew Bridge, each photograph reveals something different: form reduced to its essentials, a tower transformed by atmosphere, light filtered through pattern, and structure revealed through movement.

Four projects. Four photographs. Four distinct ways of seeing architecture.

Q Gardens by AMA Newtown Limited transforms a historic estate in South Queensferry into 21 contemporary homes set across more than two hectares of landscaped grounds.

The project restores a 1965 modernist building by Peter Foggo at its heart, alongside new villas and townhouses arranged within mature gardens inspired by the geometry of the neighbouring Georgian walled garden.

A key design principle was to blur the boundary between inside and outside. Expansive glazing, framed views and private gardens connect each home to its woodland setting, with more than 120 existing trees retained and supplemented by new planting.

A huge congratulations to Asia Miari on being named Interior Designer of the Year at the Awards, presented by .

A well-deserved recognition of Asia’s talent, creativity, and the care she brings to every project she works on.

From residential spaces in London to hospitality and lifestyle projects across the GCC, Asia has a way of creating interiors that feel elegant, calm, and deeply connected to the people using them. Her work combines strong design thinking with real sensitivity to atmosphere, materiality, and experience.

We’re incredibly proud to see her work recognised on an international stage and excited to see what comes next.

Shortlisted in this year’s Regeneration & Masterplanning category at the , Renfrew Bridge forms part of the wider Clyde Waterfront and Renfrew Riverside regeneration programme, reconnecting communities historically separated by the River Clyde while supporting new movement, investment, and public life along the waterfront.

Designed as both infrastructure and civic landmark, the bridge draws inspiration from the industrial heritage of the Clyde, contributing to the long-term transformation of the river corridor while helping shape a more connected future for the wider city region.

Designed in response to the Saudi Arabian topography in Abha, this masterplan positions villages and town centres across hilltops, hillsides, wadis, and valley floors to create a series of distinct places within the landscape. Four town centres are located within the flatter valleys, while three civic hubs, a retail hub, and two school hubs mark key points of arrival across the site.

The planning approach draws on the logic of historic settlements in the region, exploring how their spatial organisation can evolve to support contemporary life. Homes are grouped into clusters, with clusters forming villages that respond to scale, slope, and landscape.

Traditional vernacular housing typologies are reinterpreted across a range of forms, townhouses, villas, duplexes, and apartment buildings, retaining the vertical character of the original architecture while adapting to new ways of living.

A masterplan shaped by land, memory, and continuity.

Somewhere above the River Clyde, Tony Kettle is flying over… Tony Kettle’s bridge.

An Emirates flight passes overhead, while Renfrew Bridge quietly does what it was designed to do, connecting the city below. Its twin-leaf opening structure, with rotating masts, echoes the movement of historic Clyde cranes, a nod to the area’s shipbuilding legacy.
