What TateHindle does

TateHindle is an award-winning London-headquartered architectural practice offering integrated design services across architecture and urban masterplanning. Founded in 1986 and based at 168 Shoreditch High Street, the firm employs 101-250 people and operates as a private, partner-owned practice with no disclosed parent company or external funding. Its core offering is full-service architectural design spanning residential (for-sale housing, affordable housing, build-to-rent, student accommodation), commercial offices, mixed-use, civic, healthcare, and heritage projects, supplemented by specialist capabilities in landscape-led masterplanning of large-scale new settlements, Passivhaus and low-energy design, and heritage retrofit and adaptive reuse.

The firm generates revenue through professional services fees paid by developers, local authorities, housing associations, commercial property companies, and institutional investors, with projects won via competitive tendering, invited competitions, and repeat client mandates. Pricing is project-specific and not publicly disclosed. Notable commissions include masterplans of up to 6,000 homes (Bowmans Cross, Hertfordshire for Urban and Civic), 2,200 homes (Salt Cross, West Oxfordshire for Grosvenor), and 1,500 homes (Fairoaks, Surrey for CBRE), alongside building-scale work such as the BREEAM Excellent Salvation Army Territorial HQ (completed 2023) and the Passivhaus-compliant Deben Fields scheme for East Suffolk Council. The practice has been recognised through RIBA, Civic Trust, RTPI and Housing Design Awards, and shortlisted four times in seven years for BD Architect of the Year in the Private Housing category by 2024. Its competitive positioning rests on a "Holistic Communities" design philosophy combining sustainable placemaking, masterplanning expertise and heritage sensitivity, though it has no public AI, software, or platform product.
