Since its foundation in 1988, Proctor and Matthews architects have been at the centre of Britain's urban regeneration debate. Established in London the practice has provided urban design expertise to regenaration agencies across Britain, and has worked in the USA, Norway, New Zealand and the Caribbean. Throughout the past decade the practice has realised numerous award-winning urban projects, including work in the office, housing, education and sports sectors. Proctor and Matthews' work involves a focused commitment to imaginative and appropriate contemporary solutions to each urban project. This is combined with a concern for both historical conditions and cultural identities. The success of this approach has earned the practice a growing reputation for design excellence, which is supported by the international publications of their work and numerous awards for both architecture and urban design projects.
