New Scotland Yard, Chapman Taylor's first design project in 1959

They have designed and delivered projects across 90 countries globally. The company has completed over 2000 projects and won over 250 design awards over its history; including those that recognise its contribution to sustainable practices and its commitment to local markets.[1]

History

The practice was established in the UK in 1959[2] and their first project was the London Police Headquarters New Scotland Yard. During the 1970s they were part of the dramatic expansion of the retail sector in the UK and designed the majority of the UK shopping centres built at the time. In the early 1990s, they started designing many projects outside the UK and opened their first design studios in mainland Europe. In 2006, they were the inaugural winners of the Carbuncle Cup award for the Drake Circus shopping centre in Plymouth.[3] 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.
