John McAslan + Partners
Jump to the contentJohn McAslan + Partners is a leading architectural and design practice, based in London, Manchester and Edinburgh, with a large portfolio of award-winning work in Britain and overseas. Encompassing urban design, infrastructure, commercial, residential, retail, education and the arts sectors, the practice has an outstanding track-record in transformational schemes involving culturally and historically significant buildings, including the Grade I listed Modernist masterpiece, the De La Warr Pavilion and the Roundhouse arts venue in London.
The practice is currently working on the £450m development of the Grade I listed King's Cross station in the heart of London, a project that forms the centrepiece of what will be the most significant piece of urban regeneration in Europe, in addition to the remodelling and transformation of the historic centre of the Stanislavsky family in Moscow for new uses. It has recently completed the new British Embassy building in Algiers, and a masterplan for a £120m sustainable super-campus for Manchester Metropolitan University; and is working on an innovative High School and Library that forms an integral part of the Craigmillar regeneration masterplan for Edinburgh; and a major new high quality office and mixed-use development next to Paternoster Square in the City of London, known as 5 Cheapside, which will bring an entirely new building form to a culturally and commercially critical site less than 100m from St Paul's Cathedral.
In many of its projects, John McAslan + Partners - using up to 10% of its pretax profits - has set up linked pro bono schemes to involve local young people. A separate trust fund has funded a variety of additional schemes in Britain and abroad, including the McAslan/ICE Bursary scheme, administered by the RIBA, to involve young architects and engineers in small-scale design projects. The practice is also working on a number of pro bono projects in partnership with the Clinton Global Initiative.
