DC Architecture + Design is a London based masterplanning and architecture practice working across Europe and beyond. The founders both worked in the Netherlands for many years on complex, mixed use urban regeneration projects, normally in public private partnership, and this experience has continued to inform their work. 
 
Our major focus is on making places that people enjoy. We understand the key role that architecture can play in both energising city centres and driving development and we also understand how it needs to adapt to remain relevant in a rapidly changing world.  We have either built, reorganised or remodelled major retail centres in Milan, Vienna, Stockholm and Moscow since 2005 and carried out strategic studies for landowners in both the UK and mainland Europe on how to transform existing assets.  We have also built more than 3,000 homes.
 
We recognise that cities need to be layered to create the right environment for a rich, enduring mix of uses. Much of our work is problem solving. We develop strategies for restructuring places and buildings that are either struggling or have simply failed.  We advise property funds on investment and development opportunities and this has resulted in award winning mixed use and public realm projects in the Netherlands, and masterplans for strategic sites as diverse as the Shipyards in Gdansk, the historic centre of Fürth in Germany and the centre of Soho in London.
 
We also advise on sustainability matters and following government supported research with Agtech partners we have developed practical solutions for growing food in buildings as part of integrated building strategies.
