Farrells is an international firm of architects, urban planners and designers, founded by Sir Terry Farrell in 1965. With headquarters in London, Hong Kong, and Shanghai, the firm is a group of diverse talent that has delivered a broad range of projects worldwide.
We work at all scales and sectors; including urban masterplans, cultural, civic, transport-related infrastructure, residential and mixed-use commercial complexes. We are committed to creating innovative, social, and transformative architecture that sustainably connects people, the community and the environment.
For clients who care about creating significant places that work brilliantly, Farrells is the right choice of partner. The Farrells approach to design draws upon a 60-year heritage of leadership within the built environment industry.
That experience means we can see the big picture, offering end-to-end service from initial concept to completion of landmarks that work for investors, the people who use them, and the city.
Why work with us
Farrells are renowned for delivering solutions through a combination of vision, commitment and advocacy. Architecture combined with sensitivity to site, context and history are particular concerns of the practice. Our design approach is founded on innovative technical and conceptual thinking rooted in site analysis, an understanding of the client’s objectives, the history and context of the area, and recognition of the needs and aspirations of all users.
Sustainable development is about minimising environmental impact whilst meeting economic expectations and bringing wider social benefits to occupiers, neighbours and local communities.
Over more than 60 years in practice we have built a portfolio that reflects a wide range of styles, but is united by a consistent approach rooted in deep research into the context and history of a given place, contributing to the popularity, commercial value, resilience and sustainability of the final product.
In the early years of the practice, Farrells’ work was almost entirely in London. The firm’s distinctive and innovative approach subsequently led to numerous international commissions and the successful delivery of projects in cities worldwide.
