PLP Labs is a research and strategy consultancy that explores different futures for the built environment through research, collaboration and strategic insight.
Approach
We investigate emerging ideas shaping cities, buildings and human experience, and translate these insights into strategic guidance for organizations shaping the built environment.
Strategy
We help clients think strategically about the future of the built environment. We combine research, market intelligence and spatial expertise to define the right brief, test assumptions and guide decisions before design begins.
The result is clear and actionable strategic frameworks that reduce uncertainty, strengthen long term performance and help organisations position assets and places with confidence.
Research
We explore ideas at the boundary of architecture and urbanism. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, cultural inquiry and material experimentation, we investigate emerging questions shaping cities and buildings.
Our research connects academia, industry and practice, expanding architectural thinking and opening new possibilities for the future of the built environment.
“Architecture cannot afford to react to change. It must anticipate it. Through applied research and experimentation, we ensure innovation strengthens performance rather than disrupts it.”

Beyond first impressions: Revisiting the value of London’s high-rise lobby
1The 2020s is the decade that transformed London’s skyline. The highrise boom is caught between the demand for Class A office space and the average 2.7 days spent in the office. This begs the question: how do we value and utilise the entire skyscraper, not just the production floor?
