Established in 1981 (as Prior Manton Tuke Powell), the practice enjoys a long-standing reputation for the professionalism of its approach, the quality and distinctiveness of its design, and the scope of its services. Testimony to this is the success we have enjoyed over the years and the critical acclaim received.

Our vision is simply stated. Everything we do is designed to enrich people’s lives: the way they live, they way they work, the space they occupy. It is how we measure ourselves and how we expect to be measured.

Our inspiration comes from creating buildings and environments that are contemporary yet ecologically sustainable, elegant yet functional, stylish yet efficient. We also place great emphasis on the growing fusion of art and architecture and we work closely with leading artists.

The practice employs 20 full-time staff and is led by three partners who are actively involved in every aspect of the business:
