Welcome to our London studio
The challenges of an ever-complex world require boundary pushing solutions. As a hub of collaboration, our London studio recognises that it is the combined knowledge and expertise of our multiple design disciplines that allows us to be greater than the sum of our parts; delivering whole places that are holistically responsive in both approach and activation.
Perkins&Will’s Living Design philosophy sits at the heart of our home in London’s midtown district. The framework has been central in 150 Holborn’s evolution as a living lab that supports our commitment to deliver research-driven, human-centric design. It is an empowering place designed with inclusion at the heart, driven by individual agency and self-organisation, where design is the common language for connections.

Thank you to Jason F. McLennan, Perkins&Will’s Chief Sustainability Officer, and Sunand Prasad OBE, Perkins&Will Principal, for a truly inspiring evening at #EveryStepMatters – hosted in our London studio to mark Earth Day.
Jason took us on a moving past-to-future journey through regenerative thinking, and in the fireside chat that followed, Sunand and Jason explored how human nature is reticent to change. They asked us: what are the biggest barriers to achieving meaningful, tidal shifts in the global green movement?
The answer was clear. What’s needed now is human, not legislative – it’s engagement, reconciliation, and above all, love. Far from a cliché, Jason’s call for love to be a greater part of the environmental movement urged the audience to embrace, and patiently bring on board, those whose perspectives differ from our own.

On 21st February, Perkins&Will launched ‘Where, Matters’ – the latest piece of thought leadership from the London studio which seeks to explore the role of place and people in relation to the science sector.
‘Where, Matters’ asks the question: as the race for the top talent in the science market continues to hot-up, what role does place play in supporting organisations to attract and retain the best talent?
As part of the London launch event, our brilliant panel of speakers highlighted that place is undoubtedly of growing importance for the science sector, and that top talent today look beyond salary, career development, and job security, towards inspirational and sustainable workplaces that nurture innovation, creative exchange, and wellbeing.
The BCO Awards 2024 Shortlist is in! And four projects designed by our London studio have made the cut.

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) had an ambitious vision from the start: to create a best-in-class workplace, setting the benchmark for office design, and challenging the status-quo in sustainability.
Their new workplace is functional, flexible and encourages full mobility to support their needs in a fair and transparent manner, reflecting the Bank’s cultural diversity.
Through a coco-creation approach, we worked with the EBRD to include everyone within their organisation in the creation of their new headquarters, fostering a culture of choice, collaboration, and innovation.
Designed by our London studio, this landmark project celebrates the meaningful work that the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) undertakes, with design concepts inspired by the world’s geographies. The vision for Five Bank Street was to co-create and deliver a best-in-class working environment for the EBRD’s new headquarters, with an emphasis on wellbeing, sustainability, diversity, and inclusion, while fostering a culture of choice, collaboration, and innovation. Through a co-creation approach, the project team collaborated with the EBRD to navigate the scope of the transition, involving all members of the organization on the journey to create the new headquarters.
