In this episode of Workplace 3000, Tom Hitch welcomes Alex Sutton, Founder & Creative Director of Studio Sutton, to explore how small design practices can make a big mark on ambitious projects.
Alex’s career began at The Bartlett (UCL) and took shape at SevilPeach Architecture + Design, where he played a key role in developing the concept for Spaces, one of the original coworking brands. His journey includes collaborations with global names like David Chipperfield Architects, working on celebrated projects such as the Rolex Building in New York, and representing his work at international platforms including the Venice Architecture Biennale.
At Studio Sutton, Alex leads a team focused on human‑centred, environmentally conscious design for workplaces, hospitality venues, and science environments. He shares how smaller studios can approach major projects with agility, creativity, and purpose—often delivering outcomes that balance intimacy with scale.
From high‑profile case studies to lessons in design philosophy, Alex offers an insightful perspective on the future of the workplace, what he’d take with him into the year 3000, and what he’d gladly leave behind.
