Sectors
Take a look at the ways HPW Architecture has added social, environmental and commercial equity to our client’s projects.
Leisure retail
Our designs are built with experience at their heart. Let HPW help you maximise your customer experience or secondary spend opportunities with strategically curated theme parks, garden centres, shops, bars and restaurants.
“We really need to work with people who fully understand the garden centre industry. HPW has a great track record, not only in the construction of Garden Centres, but the interior design and also the full branding opportunity.”
Steve Wilson, President of Wilsons Horticultural Group, Canada
Holiday parks
From master planning to general layouts, central facilities buildings and clubhouses to play areas, HPW can help you design your ideal park that perfectly fits your aesthetic and ticks all of your business model boxes.
“I can honestly say that working with HPW has been a genuine pleasure. My colleagues and I expected expert architectural advice and we have not been disappointed; what we didn’t expect were the wealth of additional benefits from HPW’s service.”
Andrew Howe, CEO of Bridge Leisure Parks
Visitor attractions
As leisure and retail experts since 1986, HPW work closely with our clients to deliver amazing attraction businesses and create memorable experiences for their customers. The benefit we bring to our clients is the breadth of knowledge, experience and successful track record within this sector.
“We found that the professional, imaginative, and informative approach of the HPW team contributed hugely to the quality of the finished product.’’
Denise Edgehill Interim Director of Growth, Southampton City Council
Rural diversification
For over 35 years, we have helped land owners diversify in commercially successful and environmentally sustainable ways to repurpose their land to create outstanding holiday parks, visitor attractions, garden centres, farm shops and sustainable communities.
“They are very straightforward people to work with. If, after further explanation from them, we still don’t like something they have put forward, they don’t take offence. They don’t continue to argue their corner but concentrate on fighting ours!”
Warren Haskins Chairman, Haskins Garden Centres
Garden centres
With over 100 projects in over 20 years, HPW are market leaders in garden centre design. Over the years we have designed and master-planned over £100 million of developments in this sector and are acknowledged as international leaders in garden retail design.
“HPW came up with the rather startling recommendation and gave us an almost three dimensional brand plan that went considerably beyond what we had expected. They demonstrated how our branding could be brought up to date and made more attractive and versatile.”
Stephen Spencer, Commercial Director, National Trust for Scotland
Hybrid workspaces
Having designed numerous hybrid co-working spaces for universities, HPW were tasked by Southampton City Council to design Barclays Eagle Labs, a design that won the South Coast Property Award for Workplace Environment in 2019. Hybrid-working and based at a co-working studio ourselves, we understand what it takes to make a commercially successful, vibrant and engaging space for small and growing businesses.
“HPW made the process of the design and execution of our projects smooth, efficient and extremely enjoyable.”
Mo Williams, Client
Commercial
Business units, offices, co-working spaces and educational spaces are just some of the commercial spaces that we have weaved our magic. We’re here to listen to your needs and help make them a reality.
“As someone who has spent their career building new places, it takes something really special to amaze me and Rushden lakes does exactly that. It is a destination like no other...”
Alison Nimmo, Chief Executive, The Crown Estate
Residential
Sustainable building and living is at the heart of what we design but always with balance in mind. Whether it’s converting a listed property or building a new home, HPW provides exceptional one off quality houses and interiors.
“HPW's approach and attention to detail ensured that every aspect of the design was thoughtfully considered. We would highly recommend HPW to anyone looking for architects who are not only skilled at what they do but also genuinely care about their clients’ satisfaction.”
Jon Tee, Head of Visitor Experience & Operations, Beaulieu Enterprises
Community
While architecture shapes and informs how our communities come together, we believe architecture should be guided by the unique needs and character of the local community. HPW have been proud to have worked on a number of exciting community projects, from nurseries to self-sufficient new towns.
“We had an incredibly tight timescale between seasons to both design and build the Minerva Theatre refurbishment. HPW Architecture embraced this very quickly and they were able to deliver a concept that met both our design and operational aspirations. Their ability to respond so promptly and effectively was a significant factor in the success of the project.”
Alan Finch CBE, Executive Director at Chichester Festival Theatre
"We know that the spaces around us can make everyone, everywhere, healthier, happier and more productive."
