History
The firm was founded by Lee Polisano, former President of the American firm Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF), David Leventhal, former KPF Senior Partner, and Fred Pillbrow, Karen Cook and Ron Bakker, all former KPF Partners, following their departure from the firm's London office in 2009. Pilbrow soon left the start-up to start his own firm. The firm now counts numerous other former KPF employees as partners, including Jon Neville-Jones and Mark Kelly, both formerly directors at KPF, and Kevin Flanagan, Alessandra Luzzatto, Andrei Martin, Rob Peebles, and Bernard Storch.
The Edge
In 2015, PLP completed the world's most sustainable office building according to the Building Research Establishment (BRE), The Edge, in Amsterdam.
22 Bishopsgate
In June 2016, PLP received planning permission for 22 Bishopsgate, which will be the tallest tower in the City of London, a 62-storey multiple tenancy office tower developed by a consortium led by AXA Real Estate. The building is expected to provide workspaces for nearly 12,000 people, and to be the first building in London to be WELL Certified, a building rating system focused on human health and wellness.
Other notable projects
Also as of the beginning of 2016, the practice was building the new biomedical research facility for the Medical Research Council, The Francis Crick Institute at King's Cross St. Pancras together with HOK, the new headquarters of BSkyB, and the new Crossrail over-site development at Bond Street tube station, among other projects.
Projects in progress
The company has submitted planning proposals for London's first Microapartment building on Stratford's High Street, the redevelopment of Sampson House and Ludgate House on the southbank next to the Tate Modern into London's densest residential area, and a 43-storey hotel at 150 Bishopsgate, the first luxury hotel to be built in Central London in 30 years.
Other clients
In addition to working across the Middle East and Asia, PLP Architecture has worked with some of the most significant land developers in London and the UK, including Land Securities, Grosvenor, Heron International, and Mace Group. Other clients include the Qatar Foundation, Mubadala, Burberry and King's College London.
Office locations
The firm's offices are located in the 1930s Art Deco Ibex House building in the City of London, which also houses the Fairtrade Foundation, while it also maintains an office in Shanghai.
