Urban Infill

What Urban Infill does

Urban Infill Ltd is a London-based architecture and urban design practice founded in 2009, operating as a privately held, founder-managed firm from its headquarters at 33 Newman Street, just off Oxford Street in the City of London. The firm specialises in maximising the potential of properties and development sites across London and south-east England, with a stated emphasis on people-centred urban development. Services span the full RIBA Stages of architectural design, including land and site audit and appraisal, strategic planning, architecture, interior architecture, interior design, planning and heritage consulting, and construction supervision. The practice holds RIBA Chartered Practice, Architects Registration Board, and British Institute of Interior Design accreditations.

The firm serves a mixed client base ranging from private individuals seeking bespoke residential work to enterprise clients including global property investors, real estate developers, hospitality operators, luxury brands, and government bodies. Notable enterprise engagements include a £2 billion commercial masterplan for The Commercial Park Group — a partnership between Sir Robert McAlpine and John Baker — covering more than 2 million square feet of commercial workspace across south-east England (Gatwick Park, Bromley Park, and Haywards Park); branding and stage design for BT London Live at the 2012 Olympic Games across Hyde Park, Victoria Park, and Trafalgar Square; high-end residential projects in Bromley, Barnet, Wembley, and the Hampshire countryside; and pub extensions for Young's Brewery in Covent Garden. The client roster spans real estate, luxury goods, hospitality, government, charity, entertainment, legal, and private wealth segments.

Urban Infill generates revenue through project-based professional service fees. The go-to-market is direct engagement — website enquiry forms, phone, and email — supported by a portfolio-driven website, professional accreditations, and named client testimonials. Pricing is quote-driven and not publicly disclosed. The team comprises approximately seven identified professionals, including a Managing Director and Technical Director, and the firm operates without external institutional capital, disclosed funding rounds, or a parent holding company.
