Burnell Studio is an architectural practice based in Ilkley, working across Yorkshire, including the Yorkshire Dales, as well as on selected projects nationwide.

We focus on making challenging sites work through clear, thoughtful and practical design.

We have extensive experience delivering projects from £250,000 to £25 million, and we work across all sectors, including residential, commercial, cultural, education and public realm. This breadth allows us to bring well-informed, adaptable thinking to every type of brief.

Much of our work involves demanding conditions such as steep or complex terrain, sensitive landscapes, heritage settings and constrained urban sites. As an architect based in Ilkley, we understand both the character of the town and the wider Yorkshire context, creating architecture that sits comfortably within its environment.

Wherever the location and whatever the scale, our aim remains consistent: turning difficult conditions into well-resolved, usable and exciting places.
