Artur Carulla
PartnerArtur leads the strategic direction of projects across the entire range of our work, with a focus on hybrid building typologies and large urban regeneration masterplans. He has contributed to the practice’s work in several of London’s opportunity areas, including our proposals for Paddington, Bankside, Old Kent Road, City of London and Brent Cross.
At Elephant & Castle, he led a team designing a major new mixed-use project anchored by a new campus for the London College of Communication and the headquarters of University Arts London. It will be an important high-density scheme at the geographic centre of London, incorporating one of our city’s busiest transport interchanges and a rich mix of housing, leisure, culture and workspace uses.
Artur is also our go-to for our many projects in our neighbourhood, where he has led over twenty schemes across all stages of design. These include projects where we have acted as both architect and developer, such as the extension of our studios, which expanded our presence in Bankside from that of a single building to a small urban campus, as well as a residential tower in its vicinity.
Outside of the office, Artur takes an interest in wider debates about the city, society and architecture’s place in them, delivering talks and participating regularly in forums ranging from those held by New London Architecture to the World Economic Forum. He also sits on Southwark’s Design Review Panel.
He grew up in Barcelona and gained his qualifications at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (ETSAB) and the Architectural Association in London, followed by further studies at Columbia University and the University of California, Berkeley.
