PLP Architecture (UK)

​​

Lee Polisano is the founder of PLP Architecture and is internationally recognised for his architecture and urban design works, which emphasise  environment sustainability and a passion for innovation. Lee has received numerous awards for his designs. His recent projects include the Bankside Yards, a hyper-mixed-use, net-zero master plan that includes eight towers and diverse public spaces that acts as a connector between some of London’s most important cultural institutions. The project will be the UK’s first major fossil fuel-free development. Park Nova, a new  luxury residential tower being developed on a highly desirable garden site along Orchard Boulevard in Singapore. A biophilic enclave rising above the surrounding greenery, the building focuses on healthy and sustainable urban living in the garden city.

  

Lee’s work emphasises an underlying passion for advocating radical change in our cities and the systems that build them. He created PLP’s design research collective, PLP Labs, to explore multi-disciplinary collaborations beyond the typical boundaries of architecture, investigate possibilities, and define solutions for tomorrow’s built-environment.
