Barefoot and Gilles was formed in 1989 between London Architect Roger Gilles and East Anglian practice Peter Barefoot Architects, which can trace its history back to the nineteenth century. The new practice soon became involved with projects throughout the East and now has offices in London, Ipswich and Chelmsford.
