Patel Taylor is an architectural practice based in Clerkenwell, London. Placemaking defines its work. It operates from studios in Rawstorne Street, in an old warehouse converted by the firm in 2011.
History Patel Taylor was founded by Pankaj Patel and Andrew Taylor in 1989 and specialises in fusing together elements of architecture, landscape and urban design. It has completed projects throughout the United Kingdom and in mainland Europe. Collaborations with French landscape architect Allain Provost have produced the award-winning Eastside City Park and Thames Barrier Park.
Patel Taylor is working on some of the largest regeneration schemes in the UK, such as London Dock in Wapping and White City in West London. These developments are of the scale of city quarters, they create new mixed-use pieces of the capital, drawing on the grain that characterises London. The practice has completed a variety of major UK projects, such as the London Olympic Athletes’ Village, the award-winning Eastside City Park in Birmingham and the critically acclaimed Courtyard Housing in the Borough of Barking and Dagenham.
Patel Taylor's work often involves suggesting a framework that helps repair and reinforce a sense of place. Current and recent developments where this thinking is being applied include London Dock, White City, Earls Court, Wood Wharf, Southbank Place, Thames Barrier Park, Eastside City Park, Bow Schools and the multiple award winning Library & Student Centre at University of Essex.
The practice has received more than 40 design awards and was named Masterplanning and Public Realm Architect of the Year in the Building Design Awards 2013. Its 2017 Lombard Wharf residential tower in Battersea (London) was named Development of Outstanding Architectural Merit in the Evening Standard New Homes Awards 2018.
People There are more than 50 people currently working at the Clerkenwell offices of Patel Taylor.
The practice includes architects, urban designers, landscape architects, designers, model makers, as well as technical specialists.
