About Us

ONDINE London is made up of a dynamic group of experienced architects, interior designers, lighting designers, architectural technicians, structural engineers and craftspeople working across residential and commercial projects in London, the wider UK and Ireland. 

We bring style, function and the natural environment into every space. We do more than design; we create intuitive spaces that flow with their inhabitants and with nature. We study how people move and interact in a space that matters to them, then design ways to improve it. Our designs enrich the way our clients live their lives. 

We are proud of our professional and personable approach towards our clients and their projects. We possess a can-do attitude; working collaboratively with clients to deliver an end-to-end service from concept to fruition of design and build requirements.

  • Genevieve McGill, MA, PhD, Co-Founder & Creative Director

    Led by its Creative Director, Genevieve McGill, ONDINE London creates spaces with a unique look and feel. Genevieve’s strong architectural and design sensibility first developed while studying and practicing Fine Art Painting and Photography. Moving into Spatial Design through her studies in Theatre and Cinema, Genevieve’s designs draw on her knowledge of colour, contemporary art, modernist architecture and furniture, as well as photography and film, all of which deliver a layered and eclectic richness to her work.

    A playful sense of storytelling and a connection to nature through light filled spaces ensure a sense of calm in every project ONDINE London undertakes. Genevieve is driven by how inhabitants experience a space, and how ONDINE London can support their movement through this with thoughtful space planning, choice of natural materials and furniture that is hand crafted and installed by their London based team.
