John McAslan + Partners is a leading architectural and design practice with a broad portfolio of award-winning British and international architecture generated by its offices in London, Manchester and Edinburgh. Having established an early reputation for rational, detail conscious design that delivered strikingly innovative buildings, the practice is carrying this approach even more boldly into new projects in every sector.
Today, John McAslan + Partners has a strong reputation for delivering new-build architecture, and giving vibrant and sustainable life to old and historic buildings through adaptive interventions. The practice was declared World Architect of the Year and Transport Architect of the Year for 2009. It regularly wins RIBA Building of the Year awards, and has been named AJ’s Architectural Practice of the Year on a number of occasions. The practice's work is widely published and its experts in every sector are frequently sought out for speaking engagements and topical comment in the media.
The practice's commercial projects include a landmark project at 5 Cheapside, adjacent to St Paul's Cathedral, the British Embassy in Algiers, a number of office developments in Moscow, a headquarters building for Italian fashion house Miroglio, and a courts complex in Sunderland.
In the residential sector, the practice has completed the first phase of the Royal Military Academy in London; as well as new residential schemes for the Stanislavsky Factory, a mixed-use development in Moscow. The practice has recently designed 133 private and affordable units of housing for the St John’s Wood Barracks site in London and a new development which is currently on site for Land Securities at Wellington House, Victoria. Current commisions include a new residential scheme in Holland Park, London and two 45 storey residential towers in Istanbul, Turkey.
In the field of education, the practice completed the University Place, a student centre and nursing school for the University of Manchester. Recently completed projects include the refurbishment of the library at the University of London’s School of Oriental and African Studies and a number of high schools and academies, including one for the Royal Society of Arts. The practice has combined masterplanning and design of multiple buildings for a number of repeat clients, including Kingston University, University of Manchester, Manchester Metropolitan University, and Lancaster University.
Arts, civic and cultural projects also involving the practice’s historic buildings and interiors specialists include the international award-winning transformation of the Grade II* listed Roundhouse in Camden Town, which has made it a major performing arts venue, and trigger for further local urban regeneration. Other notable projects include two new buildings for London’s Royal Academy of Music, and the restoration and modernisation of the Grade I listed Modernist masterpiece, the De La Warr Pavilion at Bexhill, to create a vibrantly revived arts and leisure centre, which was also a catalyst for the refurbishment and extension of Bexhill Museum, also by JMP.
Transport schemes include the masterplanning and design of the £500m development of the Grade I listed King’s Cross Station in London; the £300m Crossrail station at Bond Street; Dalston Junction station, and Crystal Palace Station.
In Urban Design and Landscape projects, the practice has delivered the Oxford Road Corridor masterplan in Manchester, a new transport and public space scheme for London’s Oxford Street, and public realm treatments for the University of Manchester, as well as a number of studies for London sites including Bond Street, Millbank and Goldsmiths University.
The practice's overseas projects range from residential, educational, religious and cultural buildings in Doha, Qatar, to a range of reconstruction projects in Haiti, and a cathedral in Kenya.
All the teams at JMP are supported by in-house visualisation and modelmaking specialists. Within the full range for architectural and design services carried out by the practice and its specialist units, John McAslan + Partners demonstrates masterplanning, design, development, implementation and post-completion expertise from pre-design analysis through building life-cycle management and post-occupancy evaluation. This has evolved through the research it has carried out for its varied portfolio of work within the commercial and operational, educational, cultural and transportation sectors.
