Our Background

Metropolitan Workshop is an internationally known practice of architects, urban designers and master planners with a portfolio ranging from complex visitor attractions, green buildings, transport interchanges to campus plans and regional tourism development strategies.

The team has worked in Norway, Ireland, Holland, Jordan, Libya and Sudan and in each case has
designed to suit the specific cultural, climatic and regional context. We often work along side local
consultants and regularly lead multi-disciplinary teams on large scale projects.

We have a track record of delivering complex public buildings in historic cities. Regenerating inner city
estates, designing complete university campuses and district centres for new towns. Our recent inner
city urban regeneration experience is demonstrated in the design of major buildings for the cities of
Dublin, Durham, and Derry as well as and our experience in the 80’s and 90’s in London and several cities and towns in the UK.
