HAL Architects

HAL is an architectural practice based in central London. The practice is led by Hal Currey, who spent his formative years at the Richard Rogers Partnership. He went on to establish FLACQ Architects, which merged with Arup Associates in 2010, where he was a Director. The team at HAL are long-standing colleagues, and include associates Nick Martin and Clark Hill who have worked with Hal since 2002. Richard Young joined the team in 2011. We believe in simple, legible architecture enhanced through the careful use of texture, pattern and colour. Our approach has developed over a range of projects of varying size and type. We are collaborative by nature and enjoy our working relationships with clients, engineers and other members of the design team. We continue to collaborate with Arup and Arup Associates on a number of projects including the latest phase of Embassy Gardens, which will deliver more than 850 new homes as part of the extensive redevelopment of Nine Elms, Battersea, on London’s South Bank Ongoing projects include a major scheme for forward-thinking retirement home developer Pegasus Life on the south coast, a housing scheme in London’s Kensington and a prefabricated country house in the South Downs. We combine practice with teaching and currently teach at the Bartlett (UCL), and Liverpool University.
