In their words

Since its formation in 2004, ColladoCollins has embraced the challenges of complex mixed-use design to create successful buildings and urban environments. We secure planning permissions through openness, sensitivity and tenacity to produce commercial schemes that are deliverable.

The practice operates across several sectors and through every stage of the design process, combining a strong design ethos with sound technical strength. Unlike many firms who specialise in one particular area, our approach ensures that early designs are properly informed by delivery experience across residential, commercial, mixed-use, heritage, hotel and leisure, office and retail schemes.

"When we work with architects, we like to work collaboratively. With ColladoCollins, it feels like you can trust them, that they are in the trenches with you." James Owen, Mount Anvil

We combine a full understanding of the commercial challenges facing our clients with a sensitive, sustainable approach, ensuring every building fits its surroundings in an environmentally conscious and visually considered way. Our work ranges from highly complex masterplanning to individual residential schemes, and from early planning stages through to practical completion we have delivered more than 100 successful projects for clients in the UK and overseas.

ColladoCollins is a London studio based on Foley Street in Fitzrovia. In January 2024 the practice transitioned to an Employee Owned Trust, giving the whole team a direct stake in its future, and the same year it marked its twentieth anniversary.

Values

ColladoCollins works to seven values, published in full on the practice's website. Beauty: producing buildings people can enjoy, responding to context and creating a sense of place. Buildability: designs underpinned by an understanding of what can be delivered, with technical teams contributing from inception to completion. Leadership: embracing the role of Design Team Leader and balancing specialist inputs with the desired outcome. Budget: working closely with cost consultants to keep designs viable and balance cost against value. Time: managing realistic programmes and milestones agreed with clients and the wider team. Environment: minimising embodied carbon and working towards whole-life net zero, with the right renewables integrated from day one. Regulation: keeping teams fully apprised of evolving planning policy, space standards, Building Regulations and Building Safety.
