This year, multi-award-winning international Architecture, Masterplanning, and Interior Design firm Benoy, celebrates an important milestone – 75 years of design success.

Benoy Architects London Architecture Office

Benoy started its life as a three-person architect firm designing cowsheds in rural Nottinghamshire, England in 1947. Over the past seven decades, it has grown internationally and has been joined by three sister businesses – Holmes Wood, Pragma Consulting and Uncommon Land – forming the family of businesses known as Handley House.

Over the decades, Benoy has grown rapidly and has come a long way. With eight design studios and two business development offices around the world, plus projects in over 50 countries, the architecture studio has proven expertise in delivering a building and understanding the long-term value it can provide. Now an established international brand, it continues to evolve, innovate and now boasts a portfolio of clients including Alibaba, Bin Dayel Investment and Siam Piwat.

Commenting on the 75th anniversary, Tom Cartledge, CEO, said:
“I am incredibly proud to lead this business. When I took on the role of CEO from our now Chairman and my father, Graham Cartledge, one of my first actions was to build on the strength of the Benoy network that he had created.  I wanted to broaden our expertise and provide a collaborative space where design for people and place came together. Bringing together research and creativity as a group offering, we began to see the results that leading-edge thinking can deliver through design.
