Greg co-founded Studio McW and in 2023 was shortlisted for the RIBA Rising Star Award. Greg graduated from Newcastle University with Distinction, where his thesis project was selected for the highly prestigious RIBA Presidents Silver Medal, as well as winning the HB Saint William Bell Memorial Prize for best major design project and the APL Travelling Award in the same year. After graduating Greg was awarded a commendation in the national RIBA Forgotten Spaces competition. He worked previously at a number of start-up and established architecture studios across London, as well as spending time undertaking architectural research based on unfamiliar readings of familiar buildings in Paris, Los Angeles and New York. Greg has been a guest speaker at RIBA events and his work has been exhibited and published internationally.
Greg is motivated to create highly unique architecture that is developed through a story-telling approach to design, as well as through mindful responses to particular conditions of the site, context and client.
Studio McW
Studio McW was founded by David McGahon and Greg Walton. The practice operates across London and the UK, with a young talented team, working on a diverse typology of sectors including high end private residential and mixed-use schemes. The practice projects are characterised by a storytelling approach to design, unexpected and surprising architectural details, with the use of natural materials that portray an element of craft.

Director / Founder
David is co-director of Studio McW. He studied at the Welsh School of Architecture in Cardiff, and completed his studies at the University of Westminster, London. His hands-on approach to learning has lead him to work in both award-winning design practices and construction companies in the UK. David has worked for NGO’s as a Construction Co-ordinator on rebuilding projects in response to natural disasters.
David seeks to produce conceptual and detailed design that strongly portray the element of craft. Robustly testing ideas and material compositions to create thoughtful, ambitious solutions to architectural problems. He believes the spaces we inhabit often set the tone for the lives we lead and projects should be inherently sustainable in their process and outputs. David’s approach is to serve the occupant as well as the surrounding context, whilst responding to wider environmental challenges.
