Studio PDP

Studio PDP emphasizes the importance of people in their design process, aiming to create respectful and responsible buildings and places that are responsive and contextually-led. This commitment to design excellence and creative collaboration is reflected in their rebranding to Studio PDP, highlighting the care, detail, and craft that go into their work. The practice's portfolio showcases a wide range of projects from enhancing existing buildings through creative intervention to large-scale masterplanning and placemaking efforts​​​​​​.

Recent projects highlighted by Studio PDP include the refurbishment of Cambridge House, where the team faced challenges such as the preservation of historical features while updating the structure for modern use. This project involved careful dismantling and restoration efforts to preserve its historical significance while incorporating new elements​​.

Another notable project is Waterside, which features two executive houses in Hong Kong designed with a focus on unobstructed views over the South China Sea. The design is characterized by its floating box concept, blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces​​.

Studio PDP also focuses on sustainable practices, as illustrated by their support for the Retrofirst campaign and publication of "Residential retrofit: 20 case studies." This book showcases innovative case studies of residential low energy retrofit projects in the UK, aiming to increase the construction industry's understanding and confidence in undertaking low energy retrofits​​.

For those interested in interior design, Studio PDP's project at Eaton Place involves a full refurbishment of a Grade II listed building that served as the Italian Consulate. The project includes a new basement and internal alterations to restore the hierarchy of principal rooms and original features​​.

Studio PDP's dedication to creating architecture that respects and enhances the environment, community, and culture of a place is evident across its diverse range of projects, reflecting their evolution as a firm committed to design-led, people-focused practice​​​​​​.
