ABOUT  US 

Left to right: Adam, Melanie, Charlie, Sam, Hugh

Charlie Caswell and Adam Dainow met while studying Architecture at University. They both went on to lead Architecture and Design practices in London where they honed their experience on complex residential projects.

Charlie Caswell, Co-Founding Director:

Charlie has more than a decade of experience in the Super Prime residential sector. He worked for Candy&Candy and Carlisle Design Studio and established the London office for HBA’s luxury residential arm. 

Adam Dainow, Co-Founding Director:

Adam has built up over 15 years of experience in architecture and design specialising in residential building design industries, working at respected practices for the likes of MWAI, gpstudio and Buckley Gray Yeoman.

We are now operating as a team of five, with the addition of Sam, Melanie and Hugh. Each member of our team plays to their strengths, all with a shared passion for great design and an urge to help with the housing crisis.

“We bought our first site together 10 years ago so the concept for the business was born out of a shared hobby. What we’ve been able to do with Caswell&Dainow is turn our passion into a day job.”
