Since 1990, Schneider Designers has built homes around the people who live in them. We don’t impose a house style. We start by listening — to your vision, your priorities, the way you actually live — and our role is to translate that into a fully realised scheme. It’s an approach that has earned a high proportion of repeat clients, and a reputation for craft applied at every level of detail.
We are deliberate in how we work. Every project, regardless of scope, is treated with the same rigour and the same attention to light, materiality and detail. Whether the brief is a sensitive renovation of a listed flat or a new basement housing a pool and cinema, the principle is the same: the design serves the client, not the other way around.
Our Team
Our studio brings together a multi-national team whose combined experience spans high-end residential, hospitality and heritage work across London and beyond. It’s a small, deliberately close-knit practice — a mix of creative ingenuity, commercial insight, and decades of hands-on experience.
Jack Schneider
Director | ARB, RIBA
Jack is a Peruvian architect who qualified at UFRJ in Brazil in 1981. He spent his early career working across residential, commercial, master-planning and transport infrastructure projects in Brazil and Peru, before moving to London to complete a postgraduate course at the Architectural Association. He founded Schneider Designers in 1990.
Over the last three and a half decades, Jack has led the practice’s work across prime London — Holland Park, Hampstead, Belsize Park, Highgate, St John’s Wood, Belgravia, Kensington and beyond — as well as selected projects in Windsor, Madrid and Lima. His international background shapes the way the studio works: open, collaborative, and committed to design solutions that emerge from each client’s brief rather than from a fixed aesthetic.
