A Brief overview of who we are and what we do.

1. | WHO WE ARE

2. Since our establishment in 1992 HKR Architects has grown to become a leading international
architecture and design practice delivering exceptional design, value engineering and lead
design consultancy to our clients.
We view the practice of architecture and design as a collaborative process, working closely
with our clients to deliver projects with better creative design and more commercial success.
Our international network allows us to work on a global scale with our two main design hubs
being in London and Dubai, with project offices in St. Petersburg, Astana, Abu Dhabi and
Dublin. This provides us with vast international experience and with this, has developed our
local knowledge, so we can specialise wherever a project is based.

4. Masterplanning
Accra Financial Services Centre, Accra, Ghana

5. Masterplanning
Developing or regenerating is about building a longterm future and creating a place where people come
first. That is why HKR’s approach to masterplanning
and urban design focuses on creating environments
where people can live and work in a safe integrated
community.
HKR’s role as urban designers is to work on many
scales, thoughtfully designing public places and
spaces, and to build on the unique local character
and the best qualities of the forms inherent in that
geographic region.

6. Hotels & Resorts
Shelbourne House Hotel, Dublin, Ireland

7. Hotels & Resorts
Hotels are special projects requiring a balance
between the Developer’s vision, the Operator’s brand
and ultimately the Guests’ expectations.
Hotels are special projects requiring a balance

and ultimately the Guests’ expectations.
“I’ve just visited our newest Renaissance Hotel- The Shelbourne... It’s a
spectacular restoration of one of Dublin’s finest hotels... I travel to a lot of
hotels every year and this is one of the best I’ve ever seen.”
Bill Marriott, Marriott International

8. Residential
Gallery Quay, Dublin, Ireland

9. Residential
Good design ensures attractive, usable, durable and
adaptable places and is a key element in achieving
sustainable residential development.
Residential architecture is an all encompassing term
and covers a large and diverse typology of residential
building types, from single family houses to large
urban blocks and residential towers.
At HKR we recognise where priorities differ and can
deliver successful mixed communities to meet the
needs of all types of residents. We can provide our
varied clients and investors with durable, sustainable
and adaptable environments which meet their
particular needs.

10. Commercial
Moorgate Exchange, London, UK

11. Commercial
Design is strongly connected to business success.
Buildings of the future will be entirely different to
the places where we work today. These innovative
workplaces will have a profound effect on
organisational culture and individual performance.
To produce an elegant building. This must be the
starting point for any project. An office building must
be both commercially and architecturally robust;
ambitious and deliverable in equal measure. Clarity
of form, space and a rejection of architectural gesture
will lead to a sustainable proposal. We believe in
the refinement of a building’s essential components
through technical understanding.
To produce an efficient building. A commercial
building must maximise its nett to gross ratio. We
aim to maximise the floor area within the site and
plan the space with a nett to gross ratio in excess
of 80%. Notional space planning studies are always
undertaken to provide an efficient grid layout and
core placement – through understanding the notion
of usable and unusable space within a floorplate.

12. Education
Addey & Stanhope School, London, UK

13. Education
The student should be at the heart of educational
building design. We create an environment which
nurtures the social and intellectual needs of a new
generation.
We like to talk to people about how they work and
learn, and how new buildings can change things for
the better. The excellent design of schools requires
the input of a wide range of experts. At HKR we
believe these experts include Year 7 pupils as well
as construction managers. We know how to make
discussions enjoyable and informative and use the
results to make excellent designs.
Our team has developed different models of
the campus secondary school design. One such
model has many benefits for children’s health, the
management of the school as a whole and building
efficiency. We have tested this model by viewing
through a child’s day, measuring the distance
travelled between lessons and comparing it with
other site layouts. The technique has been used
by Partnerships for Schools as an example of best
practice.

14. Retail

15. Retail
Shopping streets and centres define the visual and
social character of our towns and cities. Today retailled regeneration provides stimulating, entertaining,
and engaging places to be.
Many town centres need more retail capacity but
appear to have no space for expansion, which leads
to the justification for uncontrolled out-of-town
alternatives.
At HKR our retail team have a particular talent for
identifying sites that are often overlooked by others.
HKR has extensive experience in retail design – we
can identify ways to expand the prime shopping area
with less valuable back-land and integrate the old
with the new seamlessly. With our combined designled and business focus, we know how to achieve
successful commercial values whilst maintaining a
strong urban design perspective.
