Together with Mexican architecture practice Sordo Madeleno, Pascall+Watson were in the seven-strong shortlist to design the £1.8 billion expansion of Mexico City airport.

In July 2014, Pascall+Watson was commissioned to take over from Bennetts Associates on stations in the western section of the £15 billion Crossrail scheme under a design and build contract. The practice will now deliver detailed design at 14 stations, including Ealing Broadway, as part of a team led by contractor Taylor Woodrow.

In July 2014, Pascall+Watson obtained planning permission for the £100 million redevelopment of Luton Airport. The scheme will include extending the terminal building, increasing retail, circulation and seating areas, while improving access.
