Approach
Szczepaniak Teh is a London based architecture and design studio working internationally across wellness, hospitality and lifestyle. Our practice is founded on a simple belief that the built environment can restore balance in modern life and bring people closer to themselves, to one another and to the natural world. We create spaces that feel grounded, sensory and emotionally clear, places where people can breathe deeply and feel genuinely at ease.
Our work spans architecture, interiors and brand creation, allowing us to shape entire experiences from the first impression to the final detail. We draw on research, cultural insight and scientific thinking, supported by our specialist network of experts across neuroscience, medicine, materials science, lighting and environmental engineering. Whether we are working on a wellness hotel, a barbershop in New York, a dental clinic or a tropical resort in Cambodia, we study human behaviour, rhythms of daily life and the character of the local environment to form a narrative that guides every design decision.
Understanding our clients sits at the heart of our work. Many are entrepreneurs who are shaping new ideas in wellness and hospitality, others are global brands seeking a renewed sense of direction as markets shift. We listen carefully to their ambitions and help them express their vision with clarity and purpose. The brands we have supported at early stages have grown into market leaders, while established names come to us when they want to reconnect with their audiences and create more meaningful experiences.
Curiosity drives our studio culture. We continually experiment with materials, craft and sensory design, from pine needle clay to smoked oak shadows and installations composed of thousands of glass lenses. Our university studio and our quarterly dinners with cross disciplinary specialists feed our practice with new thinking and allow us to explore ideas long before they make their way into a project. We question how each choice affects physiology, wellbeing, energy use and the surrounding ecosystem.
Every project by Szczepaniak Teh is a collaborative journey. We work closely with our clients to shape environments that feel calm, intuitive and alive, places that enhance daily rituals and create a lasting sense of connection and joy.
