Studio Yoell

Daniel Yoell is the founding director of Studio Yoell, an architectural design practice based in Lewes, working across Sussex and London. He holds an MArch in Architecture from the Royal College of Art and a First Class degree in Interior Architecture from the University of Brighton.

With over 18 years of experience in construction, including carpentry, joinery and furniture making, Daniel brings a maker’s understanding of materials, structure and detail to architecture. His work is informed by how buildings are made, used and experienced over time.

Studio Yoell works across residential, commercial and creative projects, from new homes and renovations to artist studios, workshops, interiors and furniture. Across every scale, the aim is the same: purposeful architecture, carefully made, with nothing unnecessary.

Alongside practice, Daniel teaches part-time in the architecture department at the University of Brighton, exploring material, construction, design and the circular economy.

Design philosophy.

Space, material and structure are inseparable. Through considered geometry, proportion and precise detailing, each project seeks clarity in form and purpose in every decision.

Only what is necessary.

Responsible design.

Materials and construction are considered in relation to cost, performance, health and environmental impact. The aim is to make informed choices that use resources responsibly and create durable spaces.
