Studio Seilern Architects LLP was founded in December 2005, with the aim to create a studio of creative and innovative architects, with a strong background of complex built work. The studio was created by Christina Seilern, the founding director of Rafael Vinoly Architects London. Ms Seilern moved to London in 2000, with the agenda of setting up a European offi ce for Rafael Vinoly Architects, seeking new projects, as well as executing them. After 5 years, the RVA London offi ce had more 40 employees, and more than £600M worth of construction work. Studio Seilern was set up with the intent of continuing the strong design ethos developed during her years as design director at RVA. Ms Seilern believes that architecture does not just rely on innovation and design, but on the ability to deliver a project to completion. Throughout her professional career, Christina Seilern has designed buildings (to planning and beyond) in excess of £540m pounds of construction cost, and has built or under construction with a value in excess of .130m. She has or is working in projects in the UK, USA, Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, Czech Republic, Germany, Denmark, Norway, and Zimbabwe.
