Graham Stirk 
BA (Hon), RIBA

Graham Stirk joined the practice in 1983, was made a director in 1988 and a senior director in 1995. He has been involved in the design of a number of prestigious UK and worldwide projects. In 2007 the name of the practice was changed in recognition of his and Ivan Harbour’s contributions.

Graham – together with Ivan and Richard Rogers –is evolving the practice’s language of design, to create sustainable and thought-provoking architecture. His intellectually rigorous approach to the analysis and interpretation of a client brief and site informs the process and form of architecture to create functional, flexible and elegant designs.

Graham has brought innovative, rational and clear design leadership to many of the practice’s high-profile projects including: an expansion of Lloyd’s Register Headquarters and 88 Wood Street, in London, Bodegas Protos, a winery in northern Spain (all Stirling Prize shortlisted); the Leadenhall Building; NEO Bankside residential; One Hyde Park; and an extension for The British Museum to provide a flexible series of exhibition and conservation spaces.

In addition, Graham has contributed to the design of several key masterplanning projects including Potsdamer Platz, Berlin and Paddington Basin, London.
