The Tooley & Foster Partnership

Founded in 1892, The Tooley & Foster Partnership is one of the UK’s longest established RIBA Award-winning architectural and interior design practices.

Our aim is to create 'Environments that work' in which people wish to live, work, learn, play, worship or be cared for. Places which because of their aesthetic, creative, energy conscious and sustainable design make a positive impact on the environment and are resource efficient, durable, flexible and inclusive.


The Tooley & Foster Partnership is fully committed to providing the best possible professional service throughout all stages of the design and construction processes. In every case we offer a high degree of expertise and a competitive fee structure.

We have a number of strategic framework agreements with clients and are actively involved in Partnering on many projects.

Our services include:

• Architectural commissions for new-build, refurbishment and conservation projects, generally between £250,000 and £30 million contract values.
• An integrated Interior Design service for all architectural projects.
• Party Wall advice and CDM services.
• Certified Passivhaus Design.
• Code for Sustainable Homes assessments.
• BREEAM assessments.
• Joint or independent Structural Engineering services.
• Joint or independent Landscape Architecture services.

In addition, we undertake feasibility studies and project management and offer advice on the conservation of historic buildings.

We also have long standing relationships with other consultants whose complementary services enable us to provide a fully integrated design service when required.

Awards
The Tooley & Foster Partnership have received numerous awards and recognitions, demonstrating our ability to design 'Environments that work' for both the public and private sectors, with creativity and an appreciation of our clients' needs.

We were particularly proud to win the RIBA/LSC Further Education Design Excellence Sustainability Award in 2009 for our refurbishment of Tower Hamlets College and more recently in 2014 ‘Project of the Year’ for our design of Saffron Hall at the RICS East of England Awards, as well as ‘Design through Innovation’.
