Architecture & Planning - London, England, United Kingdom
The practice began as a series of informal collaborations. Simon Henley and Gavin Hale-Brown studied together in Liverpool in the late Eighties. Some years later, Simon, Ken Rorrison and Ralph Buschow began teaching and working together in London. By 1995, the partners had established Buschow Henley. During the first couple of years, the practice worked on a range of interiors, exhibitions and domestic schemes and completed a number of high profile offices underpinned by research carried out in conjunction with University College London.In 2000, the practice was shortlisted for Building's Young Practice of the Year. Two years later, Simon Henley was shortlisted for Young Architect of the Year. In 2005, the practice was invited to exhibit in the 40Under40 Architects exhibition at the V&A. The range of work brought recognition with ‘Best In Europe – Office' 2004 and UK Healthcare Architect of the Year 2008.HHbR believes that buildings have a huge impact on those who use them and the institutions that commission them. Almost every commission is treated as a piece of "public architecture" – an aspiration that was acknowledged by the title Public Building Architect of the Year in 2011.To date, the practice has won five RIBA awards for Shepherdess Walk, Talkback Thames, St.Benedict's School, Junction Arts & Civic Centre and the Akerman Health Centre, which made the RIBA Stirling Prize Midlist in 2013.In 2010, Ralph Buschow left and the practice was renamed. Today, the principals and their three associates Craig Linnell (joined 1997), Steve Lyman (joined 1999) and Rhiannon Sutton (joined 2007) lead an experienced team who bring a wealth of knowledge, experience and real commitment to building intelligent, useful, beautiful and robust buildings. Our work remains varied, much of it in London, but with projects in the South of England and abroad. It is a mix that we are determined to maintain to ensure we bring a fresh perspective to our work.
