We believe good architecture has social purpose, and can make the world significantly better for all of us. We combine our expertise with local knowledge and our clients’ aspirations, to create buildings and places inspiring pride and a sense of belonging.
We had a refreshingly unusual brief; to imagine a different relationship with private cars. The resulting dramatic change from car-shaped roads to landscaped sociable streets hints at what we could deliver if this cultural shift could be embraced more widely.”
Alexis Butterfield
- Partner - New Settlements, Pollard Thomas Edwards
“
The delivery of 131 council homes is yet another substantial achievement and gives individuals and local families the opportunity to live in secure, safe, warm high-quality homes.”
Cllr Sarah Williams
- Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Housing and Planning
“
‘I am extremely excited by ‘Marleigh’ – we have the opportunity to develop one of the most attractive places in Cambridge to live and work.”
Robert Marshall
- Chief Executive, Marshall
“
This is not just a building – it’s a vision for compassionate, forward-thinking care.”
Shaleeza Hasham
- Commercial Director, CHD Living
“
This is custom build innovation in action. PTE has developed a formula for customising at scale, offering a million choices on a large site, supported by a digitised process.”
Duncan Hayes
- Editor, Custom Build Strategy
“
Why shouldn’t homes for social rent match the private development domestic experience, with elegant, well-designed homes in a great setting and with a sense of security? Dover Court Estate cogently answers that question.”
2024 RIBA London Award
- Regional Awards Jury
“
It’s a great site and great location and we want to fully ingrain Mama’s Jerk into the local community by offering our unique style of food, look and service.”
Adrian Luckie
- Mamas Jerk
“
You’ve got space, you’ve got greenery, you’ve got light… I think it’s an amazing place to live.”
Resident

“
The deptford Lounge is a persuasive example of what can be accomplished when cash-stripped institutions share resources and architecture.”
Phineas Harper
- Director of Open City
“
This trio towers is striking in its context. The forms and sleek contemporary faced design is captivating.”
