Farrells are award winning architect planners with offices in London, Hong Kong and Shanghai. Our approach is not a singular house style, but a strong character that responds to context, scale and the opportunities contained within each brief. We have won numerous international design awards and the company's work is featured in publications worldwide. Our placemaking reputation is the result of long term commitment involving decades of research and thought leadership. From green and ecological thinking to communications skills in consultation and advocacy. Our clients range from community groups to landowners, city and national governments to political leaders and mayors. We have a unique history in planning and designing large, highly complex and dense urban projects. These are usually centred on transport interchanges which are integrated with city-centre, mixed-used accommodation.
Current projects include residential and mixed use schemes for The Eagle in City Road, Chelsea Waterfront, Convoys Wharf and Royal Mint Street in London, strategic visions such as a new transport 'super-hub' at Old Oak Common, and masterplans which include building designs for Earls Court and Royal Albert Dock. In Asia, notable projects include Beijing and Guangzhou High Speed Stations, Incheon Airport in Seoul and KK100, a 100 storey tower in Shenzhen which is the tallest building ever by a British architect. We are also working in collaboration with Herzog + De Meuron on the M+ Museum in the West Kowloon Cultural District.
Throughout his career, Sir Terry Farrell has championed placemaking and the public realm. In 2013, he was voted the individual who made the greatest contribution to London's planning and development over the last 10 years. Sir Terry recently published the Farrell Review, a national review of architecture and the built environment, at the invitation of Culture Minister Ed Vaizey, for which he was awarded the Blueprint Magazine Critical Thinking Award in 2014. Building on recommendations from the Review, Sir Terry was recently invited to join a new Housing Design Panel by the Prime Minister.
