Chapman Taylor is a global practice of award-winning architects, planners and interior designers, based in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. [1]

Contents

The practice has completed over 3,000 projects and won over 300 design awards over its history, including the UK Queen's Award. [2]

It specializes in Residential, Retail, Leisure, Hospitality, Transportation and Workplace design, and the combination of these uses into large-scale mixed-use environments.

History

The practice was established in the United Kingdom in 1959. [3] Its first project was the design and delivery of New Scotland Yard, [4] which became the headquarters of the London Metropolitan Police. During the 1970s Chapman Taylor was part of the dramatic expansion of the retail sector in the UK.

In the 1980s, the practice was involved in several major London masterplanning schemes, including Millbank Estate, for the Crown Estate Commissioners, a 27-acre Central London site that was planned and built over an 18-year period and the Duke of Westminster’s Grosvenor Estate, a project that has helped ensure the continued growth of London as a major world city. [5]

In the early 1990s, the practice started designing many projects outside the UK and opened its first design studios in mainland Europe. 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. [6]

In 2006 they were the inaugural winners of the Carbuncle Cup when Drake Circus shopping centre was named Britain's worst new building. [7]

Founding partner Bob Chapman died in 2017. [8] In 2019 founding partner Jane Durham died. [9]

Major projects

Responsible Design

Chapman Taylor’s responsible approach extends beyond environmental sustainability; considering the wider socio-economic implications of projects, including the effect on the physical and mental well-being of those who inhabit and use its spaces. There is an available breakdown of sustainable projects and certifications, including BREEAM. [22]

Studios/Offices

The company operates from 15 regional design studios across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, [3] in London, Abu Dhabi, Bangkok, Beijing, Bristol, Brussels, Dubai, Düsseldorf, Hyderabad, Madrid, Manchester, New Delhi, Prague, Shanghai and Warsaw. [23]
