Thomas Bryans, Sarah Castle and Al Scott set up IF_DO in London in 2014. Now their six-strong team is celebrating the imminent delivery of the Dulwich Pavilion and working on an artist’s studio in Ireland. Other work includes a ‘resolutely contemporary’ extension to a listed cottage in Suffolk. ‘We are inspired by architects who look at the greater social, economic and environmental impact of their buildings,’ they say, while traditional Japanese design also gets a nod.
