We are architects, masterplanners and heritage consultants. Our designs evolve from a deep understanding of our shared heritage and respond to the qualities of each place. We work to improve the lives of those who use our buildings, and the long-term sustainability of each project.

Founded in 1947, today Purcell is a creative collective of over 280 architects and heritage experts, working internationally from 14 studios across the globe. Our Employee-Owned organisational model underpins our collaborative approach. We are the world’s largest practice of architects working with the existing built environment, ranking in at No. 1 for Heritage in the World Architecture 100 since 2022.
