Denizen Works

Denizen Works was founded by Murray Kerr in 2011 and conceived as a collaborative studio to develop projects of different scales and typologies that are founded in an understanding of place. Since its inception, Denizen Works has worked on a wide range of projects from a mobile sauna in Finland, to concept designs for a mountaineer’s tea-house in the shadows of Everest.

Having won the Stephen Lawrence Prize 2014 for House No.7 on the Isle of Tiree, it has since been published worldwide and is now part of the Scottish Government’s Exemplar Design Scheme. The studio was also included in the Architecture Foundation’s ‘New Architects 3’ book, ecognising the best 100 practices established within the last decade and more recently in the C20 Society’s latest publication ‘100 Years, 100 Houses’ which showcases the best 100 houses in Britain from 1916 to the present day.

The Modern House Says
"Murray Kerr's award-winning house for his parents on the Isle of Tiree, which cleverly references the original cottage and local agricultural buildings, put his pioneering practice firmly in the consciousness."
