ARCHITECT THAT’S
CREATIVE STRATEGY
Our goal is to maximise our design solutions. Working with Architect That involves personal, collaborative and creative working relationships. We first establish the main needs of our clients. Then, in close collaboration with our client and team, we fine tune and establish a new and evolved brief. We call this bespoke new brief The-Site-Specific-Story, which every aspect of our design narrative derives from. This ensures the most relevant and valuable solutions for our clients and users of our concepts and designs.

SUSTAINABILITY
Throughout all of the RIBA stages, from brief to completion, working closely with our network of consultants, we consistently seek to balance economics and ecology in every aspect of our designs processes, materials, functions and results.

CREATING TOGETHER
Working with closely with our clients and team, the creative and commercial scope of each and every one of our projects is maximised to deliver the most transformative designs and results possible. We are always looking out for curious, innovative people, people who learn and who we can learn from.

ARCHITECT THAT FEATURES IN ARCHITECTS JOURNAL

Acquisition-hungry Corstorphine and Wright has snapped up RIBA award-winning practice Lipton Plant Architects.

Meanwhile, Lipton Plant co-founder and former creative director Ed Lipton has left to found Architect That, a separate practice with studios in London and Scotland.

Lipton Plant itself has changed its name legally to Corstorphine & Wright (London) Ltd, according to a document filed with Companies House.

Lipton Plant was founded in 2002. Its highest-profile schemes included the Bath House children’s community centre on Shacklewell Lane in Hackney, which won an RIBA award in 2016.

The architect extended the 1930s building outwards and opened up the interior, knocking through several internal walls, inserting large glass openings and four new roof lights, and inserting a large timber frame structure that serves both as a decorative screen and a staircase, almost like a tree house.

In 2017, Architect That’s Creative Director featured in the Channel 4 television series Ugly House to Lovely House presented by George Clark.

BD ONLINE FEATURES ARCHITECT THAT LAUNCH

Corstorphine & Wright has announced the acquisition of RIBA London Award-winning practice Lipton Plant Architects.

The practice described the move as a “merger” with Lipton Plant, which was founded in 2002 by Ed Lipton and Jonny Plant.

As of the beginning of this month, Lipton Plant Architects changed its name to Corstorphine & Wright (London) Ltd. In the preceding days Lipton and Plant ceased to be persons with “significant control” of the business, according to documents filed with Companies House.

Corstorphine & Wright said former Lipton Plant managing director Plant and eight members of the LPA team had joined its London studio and would “continue to deliver high quality architectural solutions” as part of the practice.

Former LPA creative director Lipton has launched a new practice: Architect That. The business, which was incorporated in December last year, has studios in London and Scotland. It is currently recruiting “highly motivated, creative and collaborative” Part I and Part II architectural assistants.

One of LPA’s highest profile projects was its The Bath House Children’s Community Centre in Hackney, which won a RIBA London Award in 2016. A more recent project saw the practice convert a former umbrella factory in Whitechapel, east London, into a collection of apartments.
