In 2012-2013 Farrells were involved in masterplanning a revival of Alexandra Palace as part of a Heritage Lottery Fund bid. Alexandra Palace is a Victorian Grade II listed entertainment venue which was initially conceived of in 1859 as 'The Palace of the People.'

In 2012 it was reported that over half the building was derelict or out of use. The masterplan had distinctive objectives: to connect the edge of the building with the surrounding parkland, to make the building fully accessible by enhancing connectivity across the building from east to west, and from the south entrance. This involved improved access through Palm Court, West Hall, Great Hall, Ice Skating Rink, BBC Wing and Theatre. Finally, 3 key regeneration projects for distinct segments of the building were identified (a new hotel, upgrading the great hall, and opening up the derelict spaces, such as the theatre and the BBC wing). A public consultation process was included in development of the masterplan to rank the items of revival in terms of importance.

Alexandra Pavilion, Alexandra Park, Haringey, London (1980-1981). This project formed the basis for a temporary replacement for Alexandra Palace following a fire in 1980 which destroyed much of the Palace.

Construction was based on the Shelterspan system which was radically adapted. PVC-coated terylene panels are supported on a rigid structure of steel portal frames. The structure was designed to be demountable. Their stable double-curved form prevented wear and tear caused by flapping in the wind. The span of the structure was 118 feet, with external purlins and diagonal rod bracing to provide longitudinal stability. The cascading appearance of the building was derived from the internal organisation, consisting of a large clear-spanned hall and side aisles containing ancillary spaces. Internal climatic conditions are regulated by thermal insulation of the double fabric skin, fan assisted natural ventilation, and gas-powered heating ducted into the space through a functional 'cornice' around the perimeter of the enclosure.

In 2008-2009, Farrells developed a masterplan for Auckland, called the Great Northern Development, for AMP Developments. This included the redevelopment of Newmarket, a suburb to the south east of Auckland CBD. A main area within Newmarket was the recently sold Lion Nathan Brewey site off the Kyber Pass Road. The aim of this 5.2 hectare area was to provide a mixed use building with high quality residential units whilst retaining the retail and business reputation of the neightbourhood. The original proposals sought to reinforce the positive aspects of Newmarket's current form, whilst improving pedestrian permeability through the site along key axial lines. The plan also sought to connect Newmarket to other surrounding areas (Mount Eden and Hobson Bay) by visual sights lines and physical accessiblity. There was also an emphasis placed on developing 4 public squares.

It is unclear if this project was executed.

Following the successful approval of the Barreiro masterplan commissioned in 1993, Terry Farrell & Partners/Ideias do Futoro were commissioned by Caminhos de Ferro Portugeses (CP) to design a new ferry station building.

The resulting design incorporated urban and waterfront faces, with the frontage facing the main square given a more ‘urban’ treatment, and interior spaces opening up to extensive views of the waterfront. The double span roof structure designed with Battle McCarthy optimised structural efficiency, reducing the weight of the steelwork, and allowed for appropriate foundations to be constructed in difficult ground conditions. A central line of columns defined the organisation of circulation movement and retail placement. A light and air slot was installed which was intended to maximise light and ventilation into the centre of the building, therefore reducing its potentially oppressive nature effected due to its 32 metre enclosure length.

In April 1998 the Chinese government announced an open competition to design ‘one of the best arts palaces in the world’. The proposed development incorporated a 2200-seat opera house, a concert hall, a national theatre and mini-theatre, and a public park. The selection process consisted of five different briefs in five stages over a 16-month period. Terry Farrell & Partners reached the fifth-stage submission along with architect Paul Andreu, who emerged as the final winner.

Terry Farrell & Partners initial submission was a colourful low-rise box, organised within a nine-square grid, each section of which was dedicated to a separate but linked function. The three sections facing the main, north elevation were connected to form an entrance and foyer space. The three cultural sections, each a different colour, housed the theatre, concert hall, and opera house. The three southern sections were given over to back-of-house facilities.

The scheme went through several revisions. In the first scheme a large foyer was to be clad with screens which visualised performances happening in the main auditoria. In the second revision, a crystal wall was inserted in the north elevation of the building to provide increased permeability between the performance spaces and the street. During the third stage revision, the client wanted more references to classical Chinese traditions, and so the fly towers of the opera house and theatre were positioned beneath two saucer like roofs to provide an appearance of weightlessness. During the final submission revision phase, the site itself was moved from Tian’anmen Square to a larger but less prominent area 70 metres behind the Great Hall of the People. Along with the change of site came the removal of an earlier height restriction and less emphasis on Chinese tradition. The final submissions retained the transparency of the original concept, as well as an aspiration for the building to harmonize with the rest of the city, but was given greater solidity and a more dramatic roofline.
