History[]

The practice was established in the UK in 1959^[2] and their first project was the London Police Headquarters New Scotland Yard^{[citation needed]}. During the 1970s they were part of the dramatic expansion of the retail sector in the UK and designed the majority of the UK shopping centres built at the time.^{[citation needed]} In the early 1990s, they started designing many projects outside the UK and opened their first design studios in mainland Europe. In 2006, they were the inaugural winners of the Carbuncle Cup award for the Drake Circus shopping centre in Plymouth.^[3] The second decade of the 21st century saw greater international expansion to encompass projects and offices across Europe, Asia, Central and Southern America, and the Middle East.
