Waugh Thistleton was founded by Andrew Waugh and Anthony Thistleton in 1997: they had originally met at Kingston University.

Always interested in developing new ways of building, in 2003 they built their first CLT building. Since then Waugh Thistleton has established an expertise in timber design and construction. Two decades on, their shared spirit of invention unites, and forms the core ethos of the practice, whilst each new architect and each new project helps it to evolve.

Dalston Works was the world’s largest CLT building on completion, and a landmark project in Waugh Thistleton's ambition to roll out the use of timber construction in high-density urban housing. The ten-storey, 121-unit development is made entirely of CLT, from the external, party and core walls, through to the floors and stairs, weighing a fifth of a concrete building of this size, and reducing the number of deliveries during construction by 80 per cent.

Contrasting in size, MultiPly (pictured) is a maze-like, 9-metre-high series of interconnected spaces that overlap and intertwine designed to encourage visitors to re-think the way we build our homes and cities.

The practice's Bushey Cemetery in Hertfordshire was shortlisted for the RIBA Stirling Prize 2018.
