Charlie Caswell and Adam Dainow met while studying Architecture at University. Having bought their first property together 15 years ago, Caswell&Dainow is now recognised as one of the industry’s leading specialist in unlocking small sites.
Charlie Caswell, Co-Founding Director
After qualifying as an architect at dMFK, Charlie spent more than a decade working in the Super Prime residential sector. He headed private client projects for Candy&Candy before establishing Carlisle Design Studio and later founding the London office for HBA’s luxury residential arm, HBA Residential.
Adam Dainow, Co-Founding Director
Adam has built up over 15 years of senior experience in architecture and design specialising in residential building design industries and working at respected practices for the likes of MWAI, gpstudio and Buckley Gray Yeoman. Adam has had a passion for small sites and has been pushing to help solve the housing crisis from his early university days.
Caswell&Dainow operate as a team of five, consisting of Sam, Melanie and Hugh. Each member of our team plays to their strengths, united by a shared passion for great design and to provide the best service to land owners.
Our Culture
The way we do business is fundamental to our ethos. We love what we do and are passionate about making a positive contribution to the industry and our piers, especially the new generation coming through. This is translated both in our work and in social events, be they architectural tours, summer events, socials or charity days. We also help support and mentor architects and other developers through talks, lectures and events.
“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.”
