Drawing together strong, practical thinking with a creative attitude, the team has been involved in some of the most impressive buildings in the UK. Whether designing from scratch or repurposing somewhere old, the results are always truly exceptional. At the heart of the firm is Paul Vick, with his taste and temperament driving the business forward. A graduate from Cambridge University, he never lost his lust for education and holds a second degree in architecture from Oxford Brookes University, UK. During this second degree, Paul spent eight months in Washington DC and set up six months fieldwork at Tsinghua University in Beijing where he completed his Masters in Development Practices. This background has allowed Paul and his team to understand that while work has been done one way before, it does not need to be done that way every time. With work in the private, cultural and commercial sectors behind them, they are able to adapt methods to create the perfect way forward. Their game-changing approach has resulted in a planning permission record that has a 100% success rate, including new build and listed buildings and those in Conservation Areas.

The team at Paul Vick Architects have committed their careers to this goal, earning the title of Most Innovative Architecture Firm 2020 – London in Acquisition International’s Global Excellence Awards.
