Satish Jassal

Satish Jassal is a London-based architect with over 20 years’ experience delivering high-quality, award-winning housing and mixed-use projects across the capital. He is the founder and director of Satish Jassal Architects, established over a decade ago in King’s Cross, and is widely recognised for his expertise in unlocking complex, constrained and small urban sites.

Satish is the recipient of a RIBA Award for both Southwark Brick House and Haringey Brick Bungalow, as well as a Housing Design Award for Rowan Court. His work is known for its careful contextual response, robust construction, and a strong focus on long-term social and environmental value.

Prior to founding his practice, Satish worked at leading, award-winning firms including Glenn Howells Architects and Patel Taylor, where he contributed to large-scale mixed-use developments and urban masterplans. This background gives him a rare breadth of experience, spanning strategic urban regeneration through to finely crafted one-off homes, residential apartments, education buildings, and commercial fit-outs.

Satish plays an active role in shaping design quality beyond his practice. He currently sits on the Harrow, Lewisham and Lambeth Design Review Panels and was appointed as a Mayor’s Design Advocate, supporting the Mayor of London’s Good Growth by Design programme. In this role, he helps influence housing policy, small-site delivery, and inclusive, sustainable growth across London.

His commitment to community-led and affordable housing is further reflected in his position as Non-Executive Director and Chair of the Services Committee at CDS Co-operatives, a long-established co-operative housing association. Satish is also working closely with local authorities, including Haringey Council, on frameworks to deliver a new generation of council homes and some of their first net-zero carbon housing schemes.

Regardless of scale or budget, Satish brings a meticulous, pragmatic and design-led approach to every project—focused on maximising site potential, delivering planning certainty, and creating buildings that endure. His work is underpinned by a deep understanding of policy, procurement and delivery, making him a trusted architect for both public and private clients.
