Back to homepage Allies and Morrison is more than 300 strong . We come from around the world and our diversity is one of our fundamental strengths. While we are one of the largest practices of our kind, we have many of the qualities of a small studio culture where individuals can thrive on the exchange of ideas in a friendly and nurturing place to work.
We work throughout the UK and also around the world with projects in North America, India, southeast Asia, the Middle East, Ireland and mainland Europe. In addition to our core disciplines of architecture and urbanism, we have specialist expertise in conservation, consultation, interiors, landscape, visualisation and urban research. Our home is an urban campus in Bankside, a historic and dynamic piece of London.
Comprising four buildings dating from the 1800s to 2013, it features a variety of workspaces, meeting and conference rooms, an in-house workshop and print room, two roof terraces, a series of stepped roof gardens, flexible exhibition and event space and a cafe. We have also designed a number of projects in the vicinity including the Bluefin Building, Bankside 2 and 3 , The Crane Building , 67 Southwark Street and buildings on nearby Lavington Street and Great Suffolk Street . Our studios include Farnham Place, a lane which we have given back to the city as an open route.
When the weather is nice, it is a popular spot with al fresco diners from the neighbouring The Table Café , which was first opened by the practice in 2004. As architects, we are known for the rigour of our technical delivery, a commitment to quality, to embedded environmental performance. As urbanists, we are known for developing plans that are flexible and pragmatic, inspirational in vision, responsive to the local climate and character.
