Top Architects 2000 - 2020

Over the last decade CityOffices.net has monitored office developments in central London. Our knowledge of past and future projects, and the development teams involved, allows us to provide a profile of the key market players.

This analysis of the Top Architects in London is based on office developments completed in the last 10 year and any under construction. The future ‘view’ on projects is based on our research into schemes with planning permission or at the pre planning stage.

The total amount of office space completed in central London over the last 10 years amounts to nearly 6.1m sq m (66m sq ft), with about 372,000 sq m (4m sq ft) currently under construction. This gives an average build rate of 585,280 sq m (6.3m sq ft) of new office space a year in central London.

Future potential office projects, where architects are appointed, amount to around 6.5m sq m (70m sq ft), certainly enough space for the next 10 years.

The Last Decade

The Top 10 Architects for office space built over the last 10 years have created about 3.3m sq m (36m sq ft) of new buildings. The clear leader is Foster + Partners with about 800,000 sq m (8.6m sq ft), or 24% market share, followed by KPF with 490,000 sq m (5.2m sq ft), or (14%).

The mid ranking is fairly close run between SOM, Sheppard Robson, Pelli Clarke Pelli and HOK, with an average of around 320,000 sq m (3.4m sq ft) of developments.

The last four architect places in the ranking account for around 180,000 sq m (2m sq ft) of projects each, and the position of these firms in future ranking could be threatened by rivals over the next few years.

Top Architects (London) 2000 - 2010 (Built Office Space)

1 Foster + Partners (24%)
2 Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) (14%)
3 Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM) (11%)
4 Sheppard Robson (11%)
5 Pelli Clarke Pelli (10%)
6 HOK (8%)
7 Sidell Gibson (6%)
8 Rolfe Judd (6%)
9 EPR (5%)
10 Fletcher Priest (5%)

The Future!

The analysis of future office projects in central London shows the changing fortunes of firms. Although it must be said that until developments actually start on site architects can, and do, get changed!

On future office projects we are looking at nearly 3m sq m (30m sq ft) over the next property cycle (or two), so 2011 and beyond.

The ranking shows those firms set to lead design into the next decade.

Top 10 London Architects (London) - Future Office Buildings

1 Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners (16%)
2 Pelli Clarke Pelli (14%)
3 Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) (14%)
4 Foster + Partners (13%)
5 Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM) (11%)
6 MAKE Architects (9%)
7 Wilkinson Eyre (8%)
8 Foreign Office Architects (FOA) (5%)
9 Allies & Morrison (5%)
10 Sheppard Robson (5%)

Interestingly Rogers Stirk Harbour comes in at No1 in the ranking having been absent from the ‘past’ ranking. The firm’s 450,000 sq m (5m sq ft), or 16% of ‘future’ market share, is based around some major Docklands projects.

The next four places in the ranking (2-5) sees a reshuffle of firms from the ‘past’ ranking, reflecting the positions held over the last 10 years.

The lower end of the ‘future’ ranking is mostly newcomers to the Top 10. MAKE Architects, Wilkinson Eyre, Foreign Office Architects, and Allies & Morrison, account for 748,000 sq m (8m sq ft) of projects, as they look to increase their share of development activity in the London office market.

These ‘newcomers’ could now be set to overtake those firms established in the Top 10 of the past decade. However, that ‘overtaking’ relies on the developments progressing and the architect managing to stay on the project.

M&S unveils Baker Street design

Marks & Spencer, the retailer, has submitted detailed plans for an eight-storey 71,070 sq m (765,000 sq ft) on the 0.8ha (2-acre) site of the firm’s present headquarters at Michael House in Baker Street, London W1. The building, designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF), will include 60,386 sq m (650,000 sq ft) of offices, 4,366 sq m (47,000 sq ft) of shops and a health club and 32 residential units.

Railtrack tower proposed for E1

Railtrack Property has submitted plans for a new office and retail scheme on the edge of the City of London. The proposed elliptical glass and steel development, on the corner of Norton Folgate and Worship Street, in London E1, has been designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox, and will have 19,000 sq m (204,521 sq ft) of offices in a 23-storey tower. It is said that Railtrack had hoped to create a larger development by linking the site to the adjoining site owned by Lehman Brothers. The bulk of the scheme will be built over the railway lines and will include 200 sq m (2,153 sq ft) of retail space next to the main office entrance. - (30-04-2001)

Heron Tower wins planning consent

110 Bishopsgate, the planned 43-storey Heron Tower, in London EC3 has been approved by the Corporation of London planning committee. The scheme, designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox, will now go to the Court of Common Council on 1st February 2001. The tower was approved despite objections by English Heritage, which said the building would affect the views of St Paul's from Waterloo Bridge. The Heron Tower will be the tallest building in the City of London but will appear lower than Tower 42 (the former NatWest Tower) as it is to be built on lower-lying land. - (18-01-2001)
