150 Holborn, Perkins&Will London

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.

Perkins&Will launches 'Where, Matters' thought leadership report

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.

Five Bank Street wins the Innovation award at the BCO National Awards

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.

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.
