About us

PLP Architecture is a London-based group of architects, designers and thinkers who value the transformative role of ideas and the capacity for architecture to inspire. Although we draw from a rich history and experience of working together on projects around the world, we have a culture of a young start-up. We value innovation and creativity as we strive to test limits. We produce intelligent, exciting and groundbreaking designs through a continual commitment to social, economic and environmental ideals. The office shuns preconceptions, fixed architectural styles or methods, allowing each project to become a unique opportunity to research, analyze and creatively respond to the brief, site and context. The foundation of our work lies in a commitment to the quality of life in the city, a delight in the handling of material, space and light and an optimism about architecture’s potential to enrich our society. We have a global presence, with permanent studios in London, Tokyo and Singapore. PLP Architecture is also supported by our research and innovation group, PLP Labs.

    🏗 Driving Sustainable Change in Real Estate 🏗️ Across discussions at Build Ahead UK, three key themes stood out: ✔ Challenging Market Conditions: Making the case for sustainability is tougher, but essential. Educating consumers on the value of low-carbon buildings is key. ✔Regulatory Barriers: From VAT on recycled materials to red tape for small-scale projects, policy reform is critical to supporting sustainable development. ✔Changing Mindsets: Shifting perspectives across finance, construction, and end-users is vital to accelerate adoption of circular, low-carbon solutions. The UK’s commitment to sustainable transformation is clear. This is just the beginning - let's reshape the built environment together.

    Innovation thrives when diverse perspectives unite. At Build Ahead UK's December reception, leaders from across the built environment ecosystem came together to tackle the future of sustainable construction head-on.   Through dynamic workshop sessions, participants explored critical questions shaping our industry: • How can we accelerate circularity in sustainable construction and design?  • How do we accelerate the flow of capital for ambitious sustainability across the value chain? • What is the ideal future state for a holistically sustainable building and what must we do to get there?   Across discussions, some common themes emerged:    𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: In current conditions, it is difficult to market real estate development, reducing the perceived argument for sustainability. Defining and articulating sustainable business case will be key to supporting continued investment and focus. This includes building awareness among consumers on the benefits of purchasing and renting buildings with lower whole-life carbon in terms of quality, reliability, and value.   𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬: Although discussions sought to focus on private-sector interventions, several mentioned the key role of the government, identifying many regulations in need of replacement or redevelopment to ensure they continue to be fit-for-purpose and supportive, rather than limiting, including: • Removing VAT on recycled materials to encourage uptake of circular initiatives. • Removing or streamlining regulatory and logistical barriers to collective action for small-scale commercial and residential buildings to support the financial case for sustainability investments.    𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐬: Changing discourse and mindsets on sustainability across the value chain, from finance to end-occupiers, is necessary to create real progress. Building a greater understanding between finance and insurance on development needs, challenges and potentially higher returns over longer time horizons can support greater risk appetite, encouraging uptake of cleaner materials and design. Shifting terminology around end-of-life from concepts such as “demolition” to “deconstruction” to encourage design for circularity rather than linear models that generate waste.    The depth of expertise and commitment to sustainable transformation across the UK market is clear. Through Build Ahead UK, we're harnessing this collective momentum to drive systemic change—from policy reform to unlocking capital and accelerating innovation. This is just the beginning of our journey to reshaping the built environment together. Join us > https://lnkd.in/gDu6w5VV   Lee Polisano Fiona Hyde MIEMA CEnv Benjamin Lesser Emrah Durusut Shaiyra Devi PLP Architecture Santander UK Derwent London   #BuildAheadUK #SustainableConstruction #NetZero #GoodGrowth #CleanTechnology #SustainableDesign #GreenFinance #Collaboration

    🎥 Last night, on France Télévisions’s 8pm live news, filmed at Bankside Yards, PLP’s President Lee Polisano shared his latest insights on the future of London’s property market in a post-Brexit world: 🏙 Despite uncertainties, London remains one of the world’s most resilient property markets. Demand for super-prime new-builds is surging, but supply-especially for apartments over 400 sqm-is tightening. 🌏 Global interest, particularly from Southeast Asian buyers, is driven by London’s cultural diversity, market stability, and world-class education. In the luxury sector, buyers are prioritizing new-builds with top-tier amenities. 🏗 Our latest project Opus at Bankside Yards embodies this evolution. As the UK’s first major mixed-use, fossil fuel-free development, it seamlessly integrates residential, commercial, and cultural spaces. Its flagship office building, Arbor, runs on 100% renewable energy, offering net-zero carbon emissions and wellness-focused amenities. Together, they’re redefining sustainable luxury in London.

    What is the secret to the enduring appeal of Art Deco? Featured today in The Telegraph's The London Magazine, Lee Polisano speaks to Zoe Dare Hall about the design style experiencing a revival, a century on. Polisano comments “Art Deco captures the optimism and energy of a transformative era, blending artistic expression with functionality in a way that still feels modern.” At our 60 Curzon project, we set out to reimagine Art Deco for today, blending its signature geometric precision, rich materiality, and meticulous craftsmanship with modern luxury living. Inspired by Mayfair’s architectural heritage, the building features handcrafted Portland Stone facades, bespoke bronze details and private landscaped spaces designed for a new era of refined living.
