Squire and Partners

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Squire and Partners is an award-winning architectural practice best known for designing and executing buildings on key sites in London and internationally for over 35 years.

The practice’s approach to design assumes that every site has its own history, character and needs. Derived from a sense of place, buildings respond to underlying themes of materiality, scale and proportion which are common to their locations, whilst revealing a commitment to contemporary design and detailing.

Key projects cover a range of sectors, varying from small bespoke fitouts to large-scale urban masterplans:

Office projects include award-winning headquarters for both the iconic British fashion brand Reiss and Britain's largest public trade union UNISON HQ,[1] prominent Central London developments at 5 Hanover Square,[2] and 11 Baker Street, and bespoke interiors at the Stratton Street offices in Mayfair, London.[3]

Masterplans include prestigious sites at One Tower Bridge,[4] Chelsea Barracks,[5] West India Quay, and most recently the Shell Centre on the Southbank.[6]

Hotel projects include the five star Bulgari Hotel & Residences in London [7] with Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel and Partners, the boutique Rockwell Hotel,[8] and the Hilton Liverpool.

Squire and Partners has designed many of London's "Prime Residential" developments [9] including Chelsea Barracks, One Tower Bridge, The Clarges Estate, Ebury Square, Netherhall Gardens and The Knightsbridge Apartments.

Other projects include an education centre for the British Council in Nairobi [10] where the Visual Arts Department commissioned a site specific work for the new building from artist David Tremlett [11] and Howick Place, an arts based hub of apartments and studios for designer tenants including Tom Ford, Marc Newson and a gallery for Phillips de Pury.[12]

Practice developments

Squire and Partners also have their own property and business portfolio, including Urban Golf, which operates three indoor golf venues with state-of-the-art golf simulators in Central London, a popular bar and restaurant at 06 St. Chads Place, mixed-use developments at Northdown Street and Clapham Park Road, The Rockwell Hotel, a house and apartment development on Liverpool Road, and the practice’s own offices at 77 Wicklow Street.
