2hD Architecture Workshop

We design spaces and places for people.

2hD is the award-winning architecture practice of three creative designers with interdisciplinary skills: Thibaut Devulder, Tom Hughes & Chris Heuvel.

We have offices in Nottingham (UK) and Oslo (Norway). Our skills and experience allow us to take forward a wide range of architecture and design projects. With strong links to education and research, we love to explore the boundaries of architecture and its complex relationships to the environment, people, technology and art.

We are always open to new projects and collaborations.
Get in touch for an informal chat to see how we can help you with your ideas and projects!

What we do

Architecture

We design inventive and friendly architectural spaces that create a strong sense of place.

Art collaborations

We help artists explore new creative routes and realise their projects.

Interiors & exhibitions

We work from the inside out to creatively reuse existing spaces.

Communities

We enable people to take ownership of the built environment.

Research

We help institutions and entrepreneurs innovate in sustainable architecture.

Education

We bridge the gap between education and architectural practice.
