EPR Architects is a London based architectural practice that originally started business under the names of its founders Elsom Pack & Roberts. It is well known for modern commercial, residential and hotel projects.
Cecil Elsom CBE (17 January 1912 – 3 April 2006) founded the practice in London in 1947 with William Pack and Alan Roberts.[1] According to Elsom's obituary in The Times: "[He was an] Architect who appreciated classical design and restoration but also provided London with admirable postwar buildings."[2] Projects such as the international style Eastbourne Terrace office scheme became the trademark style in the practice's early years.
The practice changed its name to EPR Partnership in the eighties, and then EPR Architects in 1988. The company is based in Millbank, London, previously being based in Pimlico. The practice was listed in AJ100 for 2013 at position 17 out of the top 100 architectural practices. The company sponsors the New London Architecture centre[3] and UK Green Building Council's Pinpoint.[4]
