Chapman Taylor is an international firm of architects, planners and interior designers based in Europe, Asia, and Africa.

The practice has completed over 3,000 projects and won over 300 design awards over its history, including the UK Queen's Award.

Chapman Taylor specializes in residential, retail, leisure, hospitality, transportation and workplace design as well as the combination of these uses in large-scale mixed-use environments.

History

The practice was established in the United Kingdom in 1959. Its first project was the design and delivery of New Scotland Yard, which became the headquarters of the London Metropolitan Police. During the 1970s, Chapman Taylor was part of the expansion of the retail sector in the United Kingdom.

In the 1980s, the practice was involved in several London masterplanning schemes, including Millbank Estate, for the Crown Estate Commissioners, a 27 acre Central London site.

In the early 1990s, the practice started designing many projects outside the UK and opened its first design studios in mainland Europe. The 2010s saw greater international expansion encompassing projects and offices across Europe, Asia, Central and South America, and Africa.

In 2006, Chapman Taylor won the Carbuncle Cup, as Drake Circus Shopping Centre was named the United Kingdom's new ugliest building.

Founding partner Bob Chapman died in 2017. In 2019 founding partner Jane Durham died.
