Nimi Attanayake and Tim O'Callaghan are the directors of nimtim architects, a London-based practice known for their approach to sustainable, unique and playful architecture.


In this episode, Nimi, Tim and Dave discussed:

  • How taking a year off from architecture to travel India led to their first project together and the start of their new practice.
  • They reflect on the challenges in the early days of starting their practice and discussed the importance of connecting with colleagues in the profession so that you can ask questions or just vent your frustrations.
  • How the COVID downturn gave them the time to reflect on what was important to them, communicate their values, and understand what makes a nimtim project.
  • How having a clear and legible narrative for each project allows it to be easily understood by the client and used for marketing and publishing.
  • The importance of having workshops with the local community at the beginning of the design process, and how nimtim ensures  that community wants and needs are understood by the client.
