Waterloo Place

This project involved the refurbishment and development of properties owned by Lloyds Bank plc at 6-8 Pall Mall, 1-6 Waterloo Place, and 25-27 Charles II Street, London. This included the Lloyds Headquarters at Pall Mall. In July 1989 Terry Farrell and Company were appointed as architects to the project.

The initial proposals for the scheme were to partially demolish the existing Pall Mall building. The external elevations were to be retained, the basement was to be enlarged, and there was to be the construction of new enclosures and an arcade/lightwell wall. New internal spaces included the Long Room, Charles II Street Entrance, Pall Mall Entrance and the Grand Room.

There was also to be repaving in 'York Stone' at the front of the development to provide urban improvement.

It is unclear if this project went ahead, at the time of the scheme proposal a cost-reduction procedure was in place, so not all proposals could be carried out as specified in the initial design scheme.

Westoe Hill

In the late 1990s, English Partnerships and their consultants Urban Villages Forum (UVF) invited architect / design consortia to prepare a comprehensive master plan for the redevelopment of the former Westoe Colliery site. The Westoe Colliery site is one mile south east of the South Shields town centre, adjacent to the South Shields foreshore, with dramatic views of the foreshore and the North Sea beyond.

English Partnerships were seeking to procure a mixed-use development on this site and required consortia to adopt design criteria which utilised and promoted the urban village approach in the establishment of new neighbourhoods. When the Westoe Colliery closed in 1993, the South Tyneside Metropolitan Borough Council were keen to replace traditional industry with modern industrial units. However, given the nature of the site, there was general agreement by the Local Authority and English Partnerships that residential development should be the predominant use of the site. Terry Farrell and Partners submitted a masterplan in February 1999; however, the eventual development contract went to the Princes’ Foundation.

Wood Green

The commission for six factory units at Wood Green in North London was won by the Terry Farrell Partnership in a developers' limited competition. A strategy of combining renovation with piecemeal redevelopment was adopted and the most run-down and least re-usable existing properties were cleared to create six sites. These were developed as a single scheme of speculative industrial units each ranging in size from 4,300 square feet to 21,500 square feet with considerable flexibility for subdivision into different factory sizes. A common solution was developed and adapted for each site where each building was built up to its site boundaries, whatever the plan profile, around partially enclosed courts. One of the characteristics of this specific type of urban planning was that the design of open space became as critical as the design of the buildings themselves. At Wood Green each courtyard was a tightly designed formal arrangement of the turning circles and unloading positions of large vehicles, staff and visitor car parking, and entrance points of all vehicles and pedestrians.

Where access was limited or non-existent, the external boundary walls were constructed of brick. This provided fire protection, reduced vandalism, and minimised maintenance requirements. The front and courtyard elevations had a glazed modular curtain wall system, which used reflective glass to increase the apparent size of the courtyards, improved lighting, and gave interest in the many reflections.

Known building project dates are inclusive of the Farrell and Grimshaw Partnership company existence. Project material overlaps between the Farrell and Grimshaw Partnership and the Terry Farrell Partnership company operations.
