About
Alex Scott-Whitby
Director
Passionate about education, Alex combines leading Scott Whitby Studio with being Associate Professor of Architecture at Kingston University. Prior to this he was senior lecturer at the University of East London, and led the Architecture and Physical Design Cluster. He holds a visiting faculty position at the Berlin International University of Applied Science where he runs a course on restoration and conservation. Previously, he was a Diploma unit master at the Architectural Association, visiting lecturer at The Welsh School of Architecture, and a visiting professor at the International University of Architecture, Venice. He frequently gives lectures and talks about architecture and the work of the studio to schools and universities worldwide. Alex's interest in the future of the profession saw him sit on RIBA Council for 10 years, during which time he sat on the Board of the British Architectural Trust as well as Education, Membership, and International Relations committees, and was a member of the British Architectural Library committee. His work and the work of the studio has been exhibited and published internationally, and in 2016 he was named by the RIBA Journal as one of the Rising Stars of British Architecture.
Osman Marfo-Gyasi
Associate
Osman is part of the original team at Scott Whitby Studio where he has a central role in the preparation of presentation materials. He is able to bring together all his talents as an architect as well as photographer and digital artist, and manages the graphic output of Scott Whitby Studio’s London office, ensuring that the team works efficiently and effectively. This eye for detail has also been key in all of Osman’s work from the creation of a luxury private villa in the Middle East to the renovation of a family home in Oxfordshire. He enjoys working closely with the client to ensure that their needs are met practically as well as aesthetically. He has personally guided his Oxford client through the design process and works tirelessly to create a home that will serve the needs of this family both today and tomorrow.
