About

About Squire & Partners.

Founded by Michael Squire in 1976, Squire & Partners works across architecture, interior design and masterplanning. Its projects range from bespoke fit-outs to large urban developments.

The practice works from The Department Store in Brixton, a building it owns, redesigned and developed, and continues to manage. Its own workplace brings together the studio's interests in design, making and the life of the surrounding neighbourhood.

In-house illustration, computer visualisation and model-making support the design process, helping teams explore ideas and communicate proposals at different scales.

Culture

Inside the studio.

A closer look at studio life, development and working patterns.

Studio life combines design work with shared learning and social activity. The practice describes support for architectural studies, an education team and an annual office trip. Team events include football, softball and yoga. Its sustainability working group brings representatives from design teams together for training, CPD and project reviews.
