History

Weston Williamson was established in 1985 by Andrew Weston and Chris Williamson, who met whilst studying architecture. Both founders were chosen for the 40 under 40 exhibition at the Royal Institute of British Architects. Andrew Weston and Chris Williamson had worked with Steve Humphreys at Leicester Polytechnic School of Architecture, who joined the practice in 1991. In 2008 Rob Naybour became a fourth director.

They have worked on a number of complex projects including transport schemes for Transport for London, Southwark Council and the Docklands Light Railway. Other completed projects include the flagship service centre, Olive Morris House in Brixton and award winning New England Bio laboratories in Boston (a competition which had over 300 entries). The practice are currently engaged in transport, urban design, residential and mixed use projects in the UK and abroad. Overseas work include new road and rail transit systems in Kuala Lumpur and the Digicel Store near Port-au-Prince in Haiti. The UK teams continue in their role as project architects for Victoria Station Upgrade and the extensive Paddington Integrated Project.

In 2001 Weston Williamson developed and built their offices on Tower Bridge Road, London where they have an office numbering around 60 staff. In 2009 Weston Williamson listed on AJ100 [1] as one of the largest 100 practices in the UK.
