Quinlan and Francis Terry (QFT) is an award winning firm of architects who specialise in designing high quality new buildings in a classical and traditional style. Their design philosophy is to make the new buildings fit so well into their context that they look like they have always been there. They have considerable success at designing schemes which obtain planning consents for contentious sites both urban and rural; achieving planning permission for new country houses under PPG7, PPS7 and NPPF paragraph 55.
The practice has worked on many significant buildings both in the UK and overseas including; The State Rooms at 10 Downing Street, Brentwood Cathedral, the New Infirmary at Royal Hospital Chelsea, 20-32 Baker Street, 264-267 Tottenham Court Road, Queen Mother Square in Poundbury and Merchants Square in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. For the initial design work, the practice draws much of their work by hand.
As the project develops, these drawings are detailed fully in CAD for ease of use and delivery of the design.

A thought-provoking architectural monograph on one of the most renowned and original classicist practices today.
Quinlan and Francis Terry Architects is a British firm that specializes in new Classical architecture.
Their work is a delightful expression-in plaster and marble, in brick and wood, in stone-of exuberant timelessness, where fluted columns rise beside doorways to explode in Corinthian capitals of exquisite craftsmanship and structural integrity.
Throughout the work, attention to detail, to craftsmanship, and to reasoned proportions is apparent.

I try to practice as a classical architect today, and I enjoy it.
I have come to this position not by listening to lectures or intellectual arguments (because it is not primarily an academic subject), but by working for eleven years side by side with a great architect, Raymond Erith RA, who died in 1973.
In all our discussions on sustainability in building, the major focus is on how to reduce energy consumption by the occupants of the buildings that we architects are now designing.
However, we must also see that this is only one part of a much bigger picture which includes such issues as.
