Exploring how the intersection between a sense of place, wellbeing, & technology can produce exceptional environments
Place. What gives a project an identity? Is it how the new house, building, or extension is well nestled within the neighbourhood? Or the way the facade reflects onto the street? Giving each project a unique sense of place, of both belonging and standing out when needed generated a unique vision for each project.
Wellbeing. The places we occupy have a significant impact on our wellness and productivity. Designing spaces that can cater to our sense of wellbeing can help us feel replenished, and to work and play better, adding significant value to all parties involved design & construction.
Technology is the binding glue that helps deliver beautiful projects. We use the latest technological innovations to produce higher quality design more efficiently. We fully embrace technological design developments that allow us to produce better visions for our clients.
Team
Dimitar Pouchnikov AIA
Dimitar Pouchnikov is an architect, design consultant and educator, and founder of UH Studio and UH Studio Design Academy. His international experience includes work at HOK, Adjaye Associates and AHMM in London, across buildings, cultural and sports venues, and masterplans. Educated at the Architectural Association in London and Temple University in Philadelphia, he connects architectural ideas with the careful development of spaces, façades and bespoke elements.


Architecture and the wider city
Dimitar’s experience extends beyond individual buildings to masterplanning, urban design and the relationship between architecture and the wider city. He considers how built form, landscape, movement and public space combine to create coherent places, with particular attention to the spaces between buildings and their contribution to everyday life.
His process brings together sketching, computational design, physical prototyping and dialogue with clients and manufacturers, with careful attention to space, light, materials and everyday experience.


Professional Experience
Much of Dimitar’s professional career developed in London, where he worked at HOK, Adjaye Associates and AHMM. At HOK, he spent more than seven years as a project designer, contributing to international projects across residential and mixed-use developments, cultural venues, sports and entertainment facilities, urban design and high-rise buildings. This experience informs his ability to work across scales, navigate complex briefs and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams.
Teaching and public presentations
Dimitar teaches architectural and computational design through UH Studio Design Academy, technical workshops and collaborations with architectural education platforms. His international presentations include the Blender Conference in Amsterdam, Everything Procedural in the Netherlands and BlenderFES in Japan.
His teaching connects design judgement with practical digital workflows, helping architects explore ideas and develop the information needed to realise them.
Education
Dimitar holds a postgraduate Master of Architecture from the Architectural Association’s Design Research Laboratory in London and a five-year professional Bachelor of Architecture from Temple University in Philadelphia. His education and practice on both sides of the Atlantic inform a design approach that combines experimentation, sensitivity to context and practical judgement.
For investors
Understand the possibilities before committing to a direction. We work with developers, investors and project teams on architectural feasibility, masterplanning, concept design and design development, connecting a site’s potential with its wider urban context.


Concept Design
Produce breathaking design with visualisations and the numbers to both raise money and possibility sell to potential end-clients
Design Development and Coordination
Realise your design and investment visions with us on board that can drive the design strategy while holistically understanding cost impacts, coordinating with local architecture team, and engineering consultants.
Feasibility Studies
Compare site constraints, massing, layouts and indicative areas before choosing a direction. Studies can range from an initial site appraisal to development options and a preferred scheme. Scope and consultant inputs are agreed at the outset; cost and market assumptions are reviewed with your appointed specialists.
We can produce digital experiences that allow you, your potential investor partners, and end clients and wider and further in-depth experience of your project
Digital, VR, & interactive visualisation experiences
For private clients
We are the perfect partner to realise your visions for homes, extensions, apartments, buildings, and other spaces


Visualisations and VR experiences
Fully understand the impact of possible design directions by experiencing your space with Visualisations and immersive VR. With VR technologies, it feels like you are inside of the space, feeling the scale, proportions, and finishes, as they will be.
Design Development and Coordination
Realise your design and investment visions with us on board that can drive the design strategy while holistically understanding cost impacts, coordinating with local architecture team, and engineering consultants.
Concept Design
Have an idea that you want to explore? We can provide you with conceptual design with multiple options including Bill of Materials in order to understand how your design ideas might come to realisations
For architects, landscape architects, and urban design
For professional colleagues, we offer efficient computational and parametric design, BIM and 3d Modeling


BIM and 3D Design
Need assistance with modeling a BIM project? Complex facade? Parametric Urban Design Solution? Complex landscape architecture? We can assist your team with a fully compliant BIM model delivered either as IFC or Revit. Furthermore, we have extensive 3d modeling experience at delivering small and large complex project that, coupled with parametric design, can give you the results you need.
Design Direction
Our global experience and the fact that we have worked with many of the most common architectural typologies gives us a unique view on any size of project. We can assist your team by fulfilling your design vision with all the necessary design steps to get there. We can either consult or guide your team of handle design parts of the design within our team and deliver to you the files, designs, and documentation you need to get your project over the line and on time.
Parametric Design
Working with a complex project? Unsure if your internal team and succeed on time and budget? We collaborate frequently with other professionals and produce parmetric design solutions for pavilions, buildings, urban design, and landscape architecture.
Digital and VR Experiences
We provide virtual and digital experiences that allow all involved parties to understand your project to a deeper detail.
For cities, civic design, and urban design
Developing a site means shaping part of a larger place. We connect buildings with landscape, movement and public space, considering access, active ground floors, neighbourhood connections and the spaces between buildings.


Design Impact Analysis
Review how a proposal contributes to its surroundings: pedestrian and cycle routes, arrival, public and private edges, ground-floor activity, landscape and connections to the wider neighbourhood.
Design
Realise your design and investment visions with us on board that can drive the design strategy while holistically understanding cost impacts, coordinating with local architecture team, and engineering consultants.
Concept Design
How might a boulevard work with wider pedestrian area and reduced vehicle area? We can provide design, documentation, and illustrations for civic design adjustments.

Academy & Bespoke Training
Blender–Rhino Workflow Consultation
A focused consultation for architects and design teams who want a clearer route from concept models to developed geometry and useful project outputs.
We review one agreed project or workflow, identify where modelling, transfers or revisions become difficult, and recommend a practical sequence of tools and handoffs. The consultation includes a working session and a concise action plan. File preparation, modelling support and team workshops can be scoped separately.
