Experience

Stephen Proctor and Andrew Matthews established their London based studio in 1988. With projects in the UK and abroad Proctor and Matthews is now recognised as one of the country’s leading design practices with a reputation for award winning excellence in architecture, urban design and masterplanning.

Central to this success is a creative core of directors, and associate directors with wide ranging experience in the residential, commercial, education, leisure, sports and arts sectors.

An extensive portfolio of completed work demonstrates a focused commitment to imaginative and appropriate designs tailored to the specifics of each commission. This combines a regard for historical contexts and cultural identities with the need to create a socially and environmentally responsive architecture.

Proctor and Matthews continues to explore these themes in current work; urban mixed use regeneration projects, masterplanning, national and international visitor attractions and a series of educational and community initiatives.

Similarly they continue to inform the current residential debate with focused research into the twenty-first century home, emerging lifestyles and the integration of sustainable technologies.

The practice has presented papers at numerous conferences and seminars focused on addressing the role urban design and architecture play in the delivery of quality housing in high-density sustainable neighbourhoods.

They have provided advice to the Mayor of London’s Housing Design Guide, contributed to the 2011 RIBA ‘Future Homes Commission’, and joined Peabody’s round table discussion entitled; ‘The next million homes must be beautiful’.

Over the last ten years the practice has developed design expertise in the utilisation of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and is a frequent contributor to initiatives at both the Building Research Establishment(BRE) and the Building Centre Trust.
