Worldmall, Delhi, India

PLP Architecture were commissioned to design the Worldmall, a novel concept mega-retail facility at Aerocity’s Gateway District in Delhi, India. This new mall creates a next generation of retail, dining and entertainment facilities that stands to compete on the global stage. At 196,000m2, this new retail experience will be India’s largest mall when completed. Our design vision was driven by the idea of replacing the traditional shopping mall with a place to meet, exchange and connect, galvanising the latest trends in retail and harnessing the power of digital experiences and technology.

425 Oxford Street, London, UK

This project includes the high-profile renovation and adaptation of a key historic building along Oxford Street in Central London. The design completely rethinks the 1930s building’s presence within Europe’s busiest shopping district, greatly expanding its retail space to make it more economically viable and ensuring consistency within its commercially-orientated setting. The T-shaped building sits confidently across from the iconic Selfridges & Co department store, providing an unparalleled visual retail presence that an international brand has capitalised on for their new global flagship store.

Aerocity Pixel Project, Delhi, India

PLP Architecture were engaged to design an office-led mixed-use development at Aerocity’s Gateway District, setting the standard for the next generation of smart and sustainable office buildings at Aerocity. We were inspired by the masterplan vision aiming to break away from the model of inward-facing developments and introduce an active and permeable public realm, creating an exciting new environment for office users and the general public. Our challenge was reconciling a high-density development with a generous provision of open public space that is adequate for Delhi’s climate.

Tree House, Rotterdam, The Netherlands

PLP Architecture is preparing to begin construction on Tree House, a mixed-use tower on a key redevelopment site beside Rotterdam Central Station. Commissioned by Dutch developer Provast and won through an international competition, the project proposes a regenerative and inclusive vertical neighbourhood that brings together living, working and culture at the heart of the city.

Assima, Kuwait City, Kuwait

At the end of 2013, PLP Architecture was awarded Municipal Permission for a new mixed-use complex situated in the Central Business District of Kuwait City. Having developed the detail and technical design, construction is now underway.

The site borders the rigid urban grid of the modern city on two sides and fronts a meandering route that leads to the sea. Indicative of an earlier river course and thoroughfare that twisted northward to the coast, this route inspires our design for the retail complex and the creation of a grand-scale and welcoming destination that will converge and integrate with the city.

Project Avenue, Muscat, Oman

Project Avenue in Muscat looks to create a destination landmark that is both rooted in local identity and that also captures the essence of the Omani capital’s continued growth as a modernizing city on the Arabian Peninsula. This large mixed-use development is located on a prominent site that is contextually connected to both old and new Muscat, between the grand mountains and the coastline of Oman. Its unique location enables the scheme to respond to the advancing character of the Omani capital while drawing inspiration from the rich rooted heritage of its environment.

Shuijuxiang Mixed Use Masterplan, Sanya, China

The Shuijuxiang Phase II project establishes a new prototype for a sustainable waterfront mixed-use masterplan, efficiently integrating architecture and landscape with state of the art sustainability and wellness practices to produce an environment conducive to new ways of work, living and leisure practices.

Qatar Airways, London, UK

This project will provide a new bespoke headquarters for Qatar Airways, and as part of their brand recognition strategy, will advocate the importance of the client’s retail presence at No. 10 and 11 Conduit Street in Westminster.

The Nexus, Pearl River Delta, China

PLP has unveiled a masterplan and architectural design for a large complex at the heart of a metropolitan centre in the Pearl River Delta. Located at a very prominent junction within the central business district, the project comprises four buildings: the Nexus Building – a 600m office and hotel tower; the Platform for Contemporary Arts – a performing arts complex; the LZ Park Tower – a 300m office tower; and the Concourse – a large scale retail and leisure facility.

Sberbank, Moscow, Russia

PLP Architecture was commissioned by Russia’s oldest and most respected bank, Sber, to develop an innovative repositioning and visioning framework for the business that reconsiders everything from its branding to its environments. Building on Sber’s recognised core strengths and values, PLP provided a range of creative services to help enable a new, ambitious and sweeping transformation into a tech company, which will see Sber embark on the biggest change in its 180 year history.
