A course by nimtim architects
Tim O’Callaghan and Nimi Attanayake are the founders of London-based firm Nimtim Architects. Nimi studied at Nottingham University for her bachelor’s degree before going onto Westminster University for her masters. Tim studied at Oxford Brooks University before also joining Nimi in the same master’s diploma. After graduating, they both went on to work for prominent architecture studios. Nimi took part in the Metropolitan Wharf Project and other large architectural projects around London. Tim was senior architect at RCKa, where he worked on the award-winning TNG Youth Centre in Lewisham.
Nearly a decade ago, Nimi and Tim joined forces and started their own architecture studio. The Cork House is one of their most notable and recognizable projects, and is also the one which they are most proud of. It has been featured in publications worldwide, as well as nominated for numerous awards including Architects Journal Small Projects, New London Architecture’s ‘Don’t Move Improve’ and Dezeen. Nimtim is the recipient of the RIBA award and Create London’s corner plot commission. They have also been featured in Architects Journal’s 40 under 40, and Elle Decoration’s 25 UK Architecture Firms.
