Sophie Hicks Architects was founded in 1990 by Sophie Hicks while still a student at the Architectural Association in London. The practice began by designing private houses. From the start, we realised it's vital to understand client needs which means really knowing how to listen; and that successful architecture is all about attention to detail. In the years that followed, as luxury goods grew into a kind of religion, we were commissioned by a number of fashion companies to give architectural expression to their brand identities: we created Westbourne House with Paul Smith, his eccentric "shop in a house"; we developed a store concept for Chlo, with signature plywood walls, and used it to design over one hundred stores worldwide; we worked closely with Yohji Yamamoto to design his flagship store in Paris; and we created a new-build flagship store for Acne Studios in Seoul.
