Lipton Plant Architects

LPA's Creative Strategy is built on the premise that a clear brief guarantees greater vision. From the very start of the process an actively collaborative approach to our colleagues and our clients secures greater understanding and respect and ensures relationships and results of the highest possible value.

There are two predominant architectural typologies along Kings Hall Road, semi-detached housing built in the early 20th century. LPA has sought to reference these typologies while producing a building that is clearly contemporary in style. The Duke is a Hotel and Service development above and to the rear of the Duke of Edinburgh pub.

Conversion of storage viaducts into a restaurant and kitchen, wine bar and cellarage in East London. The existing building was gritty and industrial in use and nature, but the arches and proposed use suggest a grander architecture. Two contrasting cultures are bridged and merged through a new canvas of arches which connect illusions of a French chateau's wine cellar with the ever present urban industrial grit of East London.

The reconfiguration of an existing nursery that lifts the overall feel and usability of the building, and enhances the experience of using it for both the children and members of staff. The proposal is a showcase example of a nursery environment that can then be replicated across the organisation's other nursery centres.

The Big House Theatre Company, known as 'The Big House' is a charity organisation set up in 2012. It primarily provides support for at risk young people who have left the care system and now need guidance in their rehabilitation and integration into adult life. The Big House works with these young people across a multitude of creative and cultural platforms, breaking destructive behaviour cycles that can lead vulnerable young people into trouble.
