The original building for this project had many uses and began as a conglomeration of buildings dating to the 1920’s, when it originally used for the Palmer Tyre Company. It had also been a factory for building components used in Britain's famous landmark spitfire aircrafts. This project by Terry Farrell and Partners incorporated the conversion of an office building ‘The Wallis Building,’ to 21 self-contained flats 65 Penfold Street, St John’s Wood, London. and the project was sometimes known as the ‘Spitfire Works,’ referencing its commercial history.

The site was an area immediately to the north of St Paul’s Cathedral, London. The brief to the architects was to revitalise the area, restoring vibrancy and architectural excellence thereby improving the quality of the environment for those who both visit and work in the area.

In response to this brief, the framework for the masterplan was developed along the following themes. Firstly, to restore the views of St Paul’s Cathedral from Paternoster Square at ground level, as well as from strategic views of the skyline. Secondly, to re-establish a traditional street pattern, returning pedestrian routes into the site on ground level, and create a new traffic-free public open space. Thirdly, to create buildings in harmony with St Paul’s Cathedral using traditional materials such as stone, brick, tile, slate and copper. Finally, to bring life back to the square through the creation of a new shopping area with a variety of shops, restaurants, and entertainment, linked into St Paul’s underground station.

The masterplan for the Paddington Basin area was initiated in 1998 with a focus on 'The Point' building as the Orange phone company headquarters. Orange decied not to occupy the building in November 2002, however the overall masterplan continued to progress under the 'Paddington Waterside Masterplan.'

The Pacific North-West Aquarium sits on the waterfront at Elliott Bay in Seattle. It has occupied the site since 1977 and in 2000 Terry Farrell and Partners were invited to present a scheme with local partner architect Mithun to redevelop the aquarium across two pier arms numbered 62-63. The aquarium straddled two of the pier extensions, with one arm focusing on operational and administrative elements of the aquarium, whilst the other was used for public exhibits.

The shape of the aquarium was to resemble an open basin and contain a microcosm of ‘Puget Sound.’ It was intended to be an iconic structure in the Seattle landscape and hold a revamped exhibition programme. There appears to have been community opposition to the scheme due to it’s view-blocking appearance and the scheme was not realised with the involvement of the Terry Farrell Partnership.

In 2006, Farrells enagaged with Land Securities to create a masterplan of the East End of Oxford Street. This area was argued to be obstructive to the overall use capacity of West Oxford Street, disconnecting Fitzrovia and Bloomsbury from Soho and Covent Garden. East Oxford Street was perceived to have poor retail value, lacked high quality public space, suffered from pedestrian congestion, excessive noise and pollution. There was also uncertainty about future planning for the area. The masterplan initially wanted to extend the high street along sidestreets and use commercial anchors to cement the high street location, taking advantage of the natural infrastructure connections of the area.

The Oakwood residential development (known as Oakwood 13 and 18) was commissioned in 1978 by Warrington New Town Development Corporation to build 200 homes in Warrington New Town. The commission was won by the Farrell/Grimshaw Partnership and was completed by Sir Terry Farrell and Company.

Individual units were constructed using timber frames and provided Terry Farrell and Company the opportunity to further explore the concept of standardisation in construction and individuality of context and personal expression. Rather than the simple repetitive plans of the previous Maunsel housing schemes, a concept was developed of the 'universal core' with external character. The core comprised the main service areas, circulation routes and living spaces of a unit, and was common to all house types. The variation in size and character was achieved by adding extensions in defined zones at the front and rear of each house. While this approach is common to both Oakwood 13 and 18, Oakwood 13 is based on the terraced-house model and Oakwood 18 was formed of bungalows with roof or loft rooms.

In January 2002 News International plc approached Terry Farrell and Partners with a brief to design a commercial office scheme for a site adjacent to their print works in Wapping, London. The proposed site is clear of buildings and used for staff car parking and lorry marshalling. The brief required approximately one million square feet of commercial accommodation with the potential for half this area containing one building as a suitable for News International's new headquarters.

Between 2009-2011, the Newcastle Gateshead City Development Company was founded as a regeneration and investment organisation to encourage investment specific Newcastle and Gateshead city areas. It received a funding of £500,000 a year from each of its three partners (Newcastle City Council, Gateshead Council, and the One North East regional development agency).

In July 2010 announced that Farrells were the preferred tenderer for the ‘Developing Newcastle Gateshead’ contract to oversee the development of the Newcastle-Gateshead 1Plan – an economic and spatial strategy for Newcastle-Gateshead. Among the capital projects proposed by the plan were: (1) The creation of the North-east’s first International Conference and Exhibition Centre as part of the regeneration of Gateshead Quays, with a mix of uses including homes, offices, leisure and retail; (2) The next phase of development in the Ouseburn cultural quarter, including between 60 and 80 new homes in partnership with the Homes and Communities Agency using £4 million Public Land Initiative funding; (3) The acceleration of the development of Science Central (creation of 40,000 square metres of office and teaching space pre-let by Newcastle University Business School, along with a £30 million student village), a project already underway by Downing Developments.

In September 2011, following cuts to council budgets, and the abolishment by central government of One North East, Newcastle and Gateshead councils announced this scheme would be replaced by a "business development commission" which would work with the marketing agency Newcastle-Gateshead.
