PLP Architecture
PLP Architecture stands as a London-based collective comprising architects, designers, and researchers who hold a deep appreciation for the transformative power of ideas within the realm of architecture. Spearheaded by a seasoned and tightly-knit group of partners with over three decades of collaborative experience, the practice blends a wealth of historical insight with the dynamic ethos akin to a burgeoning startup.
At PLP, the emphasis is on fostering an exceptional working environment. With a team of remarkable individuals and a culture that nurtures growth and talent, the studio buzzes with activity. Within a single expansive room, approximately 150 individuals engage in a myriad of activities—from drafting and debating to dining and collaborating. Illuminated by natural light, the central runway serves as the hub where every member makes a spirited entrance each morning.
Transparency, collaboration, and trust form the bedrock of PLP’s ethos. Encouraging contributions from all, the firm operates as a partnership fueled by collective passion and curiosity. This inclusive approach cultivates a vibrant work environment, where creativity flourishes, and a shared sense of purpose prevails.
Central to PLP’s philosophy is a dedication to enhancing urban life through superior design, meticulous attention to materials, space, and light, and an unwavering optimism regarding architecture’s societal impact. Each project is approached with fresh eyes, tailored to address the specific challenges of the site, project brief, and client aspirations, rather than adhering to preconceived notions. This ensures that PLP’s creations are not only bespoke and functional but also poised to endure and evolve over time.
Collaboration is integral to PLP’s design process, allowing for the extraction and utilization of collective knowledge and expertise from clients and consultants alike. Balancing design prowess with adept project management ensures that PLP’s endeavors consistently meet ambitious standards for quality, schedule, and budget, thus enhancing their enduring value.
PLP Architecture Awards and Credentials
PLP Architecture has garnered both acclaim and recognition for its contributions to the architectural landscape. In 2017, the London-based firm’s Nova Victoria mixed-use development secured the prestigious Carbuncle Cup. This accolade, albeit controversial, underscored the project’s bold and provocative design ethos, earning it distinction despite critiques such as Catherine Croft’s characterization of it as a “crass assault on the senses.”
Continuing its trajectory of excellence, PLP Architecture clinched the title of London’s Best Sustainable Architectural Design Studio at this year’s BUILD Sustainable Design Awards. This recognition highlights the firm’s commitment to innovative and environmentally conscious design practices, solidifying its reputation as a leader in sustainable architecture within the London scene.
