From its offices in London, Tokyo, and
Singapore, PLP
Architecture
drives design innovation by bringing together people, architecture,
and technology. Its expertise in design, research, and strategic
planning is underpinned by an unwavering commitment to effecting
meaningful change in cities. Its most iconic projects include The
Edge in Amsterdam, hailed as one of
the world’s most sustainable buildings; 22
Bishopsgate, the tallest skyscraper
in the City of London; and Park Nova
in Singapore, a prime example of
biophilic luxury applied to residential architecture. Each project is
a testament to the studio’s ability to create visionary,
transformative architecture.
The strength of PLP
Architecture lies in its diversity.
Representing 37 nationalities and speaking 45 languages, the team
fosters a dynamic exchange of ideas and perspectives that enriches
every project. This diversity enables the firm to fully understand
clients’ needs and address design challenges through a combination
of local insight and international expertise. This has translated
into a portfolio of over 650 projects in 37 countries, from Japan’s
largest urban regeneration project near Tokyo’s Imperial Palace to
Bankside Yards, the
UK’s first
major fossil fuel-free, mixed-use development.
The studio’s offices are conceived as
expansive, open spaces, where 150 professionals work side by side,
designing, discussing, sharing ideas, and working with clients and
partners. Transparency, trust, and ongoing dialogue underpin a
workplace that nurtures talent and fosters professional growth. Every
team member is an innovator, a thinker, and an entrepreneur dedicated
to creating buildings and spaces that enhance the quality of urban
life.
Research is a central element of the firm’s
activities. Through PLP Labs, its
in-house research group, it explores new frontiers in architecture
and urban design in collaboration with international experts.
Innovation is a key part of the studio’s commitment to
sustainability, as it works to reduce the environmental impact of
buildings through targeted strategies, including material reuse, work
with innovative biomaterials such as mycelium
building blocks, and reducing carbon
emissions during construction. International sustainability
accreditations attest to the studio’s contribution not only to
contemporary architecture but also to protecting the planet and
improving people’s quality of life.
