Hampshire County Architects
Hampshire County Architects are the award-winning in-house architects studio of Hampshire County Council, England. They have a particular reputation for good school design. Hampshire County Architects are also notable as they are the only sizeable public-sector county architecture studio remaining, following many years in the UK of outsourcing to the private sector.[1]

The practice was led by Colin Stansfield Smith who, as a result of his work at Hampshire County Council, was awarded the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Gold Medal in 1991.[1] Stansfield Smith was knighted in 1993.
In 2005 the architects department employed 57 architects, 6 landscape architects and 10 interior designers.[2]
