PRACTICE: About



<< Back to Main

Ted Cullinan set up Edward Cullinan Architects in 1965. We practice as a co-operative giving us an unusual flexibility to respond effectively to our client's demands.

We are based in Islington, North London where we work in a single studio to maximise inter-project understanding and to facilitate the easy adjustment of the project teams as their needs ebb and flow.

We have worked with many different clients, producing very different solutions within commercial, cultural, housing, health, primary and secondary education sectors, in the University sector and in Urban Regeneration and Masterplanning.

To each of these projects we bring our common interests:

  • A positive response to the historical and physical context.
  • An understanding of the importance of good public spaces.
  • A belief that consultation and participation by the users forms an essential part of an effective design process.
  • An appropriate degree of flexibility to allow for changing patterns of use and the continually developing needs of technology.
  • A continually developing focus on energy conservation and sustainability.
  • An enjoyment in the construction of the buildings as an integral part of their architecture.
  • A commitment to lean thinking and the Egan agenda in pursuit of better value for the client and the user.

    • We are registered to carry out EcoHomes and Code for Sustainable Homes Assessments on all our projects.
