Unlocking project potential through people-centred architecture

ATPA is an architecture practice that takes a people-centred approach to design. We recognise every project is unique with its own specific challenges and constraints.

Our nimble, considered stakeholder-led approach unlocks your projects’ true potential.

ATPA is our way of bringing architecture back to where it should be, meeting or exceeding clients’ and users’ expectations.

We do this listening and then designing schemes that are both functional and deliver a high-quality experience for the people using the building and spaces.

91–93 Peckham High Street: Reconnecting with Peckham Square

Great to see such a strong turnout at Peckham Square for the recent public consultation, as part of a wider initiative led by Southwark Council to help move forward the regeneration and revitalisation of the square.

ATPA’s proposals for the redevelopment of 91–93 Peckham High Street were presented alongside the wider plans for the redevelopment of Peckham Square.

Our proposals seek to bring the existing dilapidated building back into meaningful use, improving accessibility through a new lift and level access throughout the building, creating new lettable space for the local community and introducing a single storey extension towards the square.

The extension will establish a new active frontage onto Peckham Square, strengthening the building’s relationship with the public realm and helping to act as a catalyst for renewed activity within the square.

A big thank you to everyone who came along, engaged with the proposals and shared their thoughts.

Recognising Talent and Vision at Ravensbourne’s 2025 Degree Show

Another academic year draws to a close and I’m still buzzing after visiting the Ravensbourne University London end-of-year degree show.

An incredible showcase of emerging talent filled the studios—spanning multiple design disciplines. Their projects explored powerful themes of social integration, ecological connectivity, and the interaction between human and non-human communities.

ATPA has been proud to collaborate with Ravensbourne over the past year on a number of initiatives and it was a real honour to present this year’s Community Impact Award to Fabiana Stan—huge congratulations!

Uniting Past and Future at London’s Tower 42

The City of London skyline is home to some of the UK’s most iconic architectural landmarks, among them the 1971 Tower 42 (formerly the NatWest Tower). Its distinctive footprint is a direct interpretation of the NatWest Bank logo—three interlocking chevrons symbolising the coming together of three banks in unity and strength.

With such a bold and historic presence on the skyline, ATPA is proud to be appointed to commence commercial design and build works across the Tower 42 estate. We are honoured to contribute to the ongoing evolution of this landmark, continuing its legacy through thoughtful and contemporary architectural interventions.

Informed by the Past, Designed for the Future: BTCSC’s Regeneration Journey

Following a series of initial engagement workshops with the Balham & Tooting Community & Sports Club (BTCSC), architecture students from Ravensbourne University London recently presented their design proposals back to the community. These imaginative and forward-thinking solutions were rooted in meaningful engagement—built on time spent with members, thorough research and a deep understanding of the club’s heritage and aspirations.

The quality and depth of the work far exceeded expectations. BTCSC members were particularly moved to see their personal stories, values, and the club’s legacy reflected in the proposals. It was a clear demonstration of how community voices can meaningfully shape design outcomes.

This collaboration has not only provided BTCSC with inspiring concepts to inform its future transformation, but it also offered students a valuable opportunity to respond to a real-world brief. Embedding community-led design within education is essential to nurturing the next generation of architects—professionals who understand the importance of designing with, and for, the people who will use these spaces.

Proud to have been part of facilitating this partnership, bridging live community needs with the academic environment. A heartfelt thank you goes to all key contributors who made this collaboration possible. Hyacinth Parsons, Bed, MA | Alberto Villanueva Galindo | Sonia Watson OBE, Hon FRIBA, Hon.FRIAS

Next steps: The work generated through this engagement will form a valuable part of BTCSC’s strategic planning and will continue to influence the future development of the club.
