PENSON

Founded by Lee Penson in 2004, PENSON is a London architecture and interiors studio that grew from a rented bedroom in Tooting Bec to offices in Shad Thames, Beijing and New York. The practice calls itself a set of design disrupters, as interested in what things are not as in what they are, and applies that instinct to commercial and residential architecture, automotive and aviation interiors and experiential branding, with a consultative, strategy-led method.

That approach has produced headquarters and venues for Google, YouTube, Sony PlayStation, The Hut Group, Lotte World Tower and Accor, among others. Awards include MIPIM for JO&JOE Paris Gentilly, an Archilovers best project and a British Council of Offices shortlisting; the studio is certified to ISO 9001.
