SHH is one of London's most lauded architecture and design practices. Formed in 1992, the company's work is global, with live projects in Moscow, Bahrain, Dubai, Hong Kong, Riga, St Petersburg, Paris, Madrid and Barcelona.Working right across the spectrum from strategy and planning to new-build architecture, refurbishment, interior architecture, interior design, graphics and branding, SHH offers its clients a complete and integrated service from start to finish – or else individual services from its broad skill base, using specially-selected teams from its multi-disciplinary and equally cosmopolitan 40-strong workforce.The company made its name in high-end residential work and has won many awards in this sector, as well as being shortlisted for the prestigious Manser Medal, awarded by the RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) - and this area of work is still the company's principal fee-earner.In the leisure field we have worked with L.A. Fitness on numerous fitness, spa and well-being centres, twice winning Property Week/Leisure Property's ‘Best Small Project' award for centres in Finchley and Victoria. More recently we worked with Ark Leisure Management on the first of a series of ground-breaking new 37° leisure centre concepts at the More London complex, winner of a 2007 Commercial Architecture Award.Our restaurant, bar and club design portfolio spans an impressive range of clients, from the very highest-end – Mayfair's Michelin-starred Greenhouse, Kyoto cuisine restaurant Umu and Morton ‘s nightclub, for example, for client MARC (the Marlon Abela Restaurant Corporation), as well as Theme Awards-winner Aura Bar – to the ultimate mass market-operator McDonald's, radically reworking their flagship Oxford Street restaurant, now the winner of no less than six major design awards around the world, including ‘Best Fast Food' restaurant from America's leading Chain Store Age Awards (run by leading retail title CSA).In the hotel sector, we have completed 9 major projects, including a full-service project transforming a run-down two-star 96-room hotel in West Kensington into the £10m, 50,000 sq ft, four-star 64-room Parkcity luxury hotel. SHH branded the new hotel as well as creating a new, controlled, single hotel entrance, a hugely-increased lobby area, new bar to the restaurant's rear, new cafeteria/breakfast Room, a dedicated lower-ground restaurant – and the design of all the rooms and two 3-bed apartments.The company has won a total of 18 awards for its work – which also encompasses some of London's highest-end residential schemes, workplace design and retail branding and interiors – not only for the freshness of its architectural, interior and branding concepts, but also for their bottom-line performance, durability and sound operational logistics.Our work is a favourite with design and lifestyle journals the world over, and we have also been published in 50 book case studies to date. At the ‘Architect of the Year Awards', Building Design said our projects ranged from ‘ultra fun to super chic', whilst the UK's Living Etc magazine named us as one of their ‘hand-picked favourite architects from around the capital'.
