About

About UPP.

UPP Architects + Town Planners is a multidisciplinary architecture and town planning practice based in Camden, London. The practice combines the creativity of architecture with the strategy of planning to extract the maximum value from a site. Finding the balance between purposeful design and commercial viability, the team makes better spaces to live, work and grow in. As specialists in their fields, they work in harmony to create solutions that are better than the sum of their parts.

Combining architecture and town planning, UPP is committed to creating places that enhance lives, foster growth and build sustainable communities. Its approach draws on the strengths of both disciplines to navigate complex sites and achieve thoughtful, impactful developments. Whether revitalising unused spaces or developing challenging plots, the practice works closely with landowners, local authorities and communities to unlock the potential of each site. With technical expertise and a creative, people-focused vision, UPP brings clarity to complex planning processes and purpose to every project.

The studio's portfolio spans residential, commercial, mixed-use and community work across London and beyond, with projects including Temple Fortune Lane, Norrice Lea, Stratford Road, Uxbridge Road, Bridge Studios, The Falcon Resort in Montenegro, the Ohr Yisrael synagogue and Impress Clinics.
