Architecture

Architecture lies at the heart of PRP’s business. We have a long history of designing homes, schools, health buildings and workplaces for a wide range of clients spanning from individuals to housing providers and private developers.

Our approach stems from a concern for people and how they will use and enjoy the buildings that we create. Efficient and elegant space planning, combined with good daylighting and sunlighting, are essential characteristics of our work. Simple and robust detailing; using materials that will age gracefully, hasbeen the hallmark of PRP’s work since our earliest days in practice.

Today, these basic qualities remain central to our thinking, but we combine them with an innovative and enquiring approach to meet the more complex agendas of sustainability and modern construction techniques. We are deeply committed to developing environmentally-responsible designs and specifications for our clients’ buildings. Wherever possible, our designs seek to minimise pollution, conserve natural resources and reduce energy consumption. This has led us to set up an in-house Environmental Services team to address such issues in our work; and to establishing a joint venture company, PRP ZEDfactor, with Bill Dunster architects to mainstream low carbon emission developments.

Our architects work as part of the team to develop fully integrated solutions that are attractive and popular whilst being practical and deliverable.
