Allies and Morrison

Allies and Morrison is a London-based architectural practice founded by Bob Allies and Graham Morrison in 1984. The practice is now headed up by 9 Partners and employs around 240 people in their purpose designed studios at 85 Southwark Street. Notable projects include the British Embassy in Dublin, the Sidgwick Avenue masterplan and faculty buildings for the University of Cambridge, Tate Britain public landscape and entrance and a new home for Chelsea College of Art and Design at Millbank, the Royal Festival Hall refurbishment at the Southbank, the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the BBC Media Village White City development and the Blue Fin Building, a new headquarters for IPC Media as part of the Bankside 123 urban development adjacent to Tate Modern.

Allies and Morrison are co-masterplanners for Argent Group PLC's Kings Cross Central regeneration project with Demetri Porphyrios and Townshend Landscape Architects. This project received the "Mayor's Award for Excellence in Planning" at the London Planning Awards in 2007. Allies and Morrison has also played a key role in preparing proposals for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games and are jointly responsible for the Olympic Park Design and Site Wide Infrastructure in the Lower Lea Valley. More recently, Allies and Morrison has been selected by the LDA, as part of a consortium including KCAP and EDAW, to design the Olympic legacy masterplan.

The practice is currently working on over twenty masterplans at different stages of development in some of the most deprived and heavily polluted, post-industrial areas of London as well as smaller towns across England such as London's Regent Street, Brent Cross Cricklewood (250 acres), Royal Arsenal Woolwich, Hemel Hempstead, Stratford-upon-Avon, Sheffield, Winchester and Oxford Westgate. Both Winchester and Oxford masterplans received planning permission in 2007. The practice is now working on a number of masterplans internationally.

The wide range of current commissions includes an extension to the Royal Albert Memorial Museum in Exeter, a new home for Rambert Dance Company, the redevelopment of Highbury Stadium for Arsenal FC, 100 Bishopsgate, an office tower planned for the City of London and hotels and apartments in Bangalore, India.

The practice has a record of achieving BREEAM excellent ratings for many of its completed buildings and works hard with all its clients to ensure that the environmental performance of its designs is as effective as possible.

The practice has won numerous awards including 23 RIBA Awards, an RIBA International Award for the British Council Lagos, 13 Civic Trust Awards, and "Architect of The Year", "Public Building Architect of the Year" and "Masterplanning Architect of the Year" from the Building Design Awards 2007.
