Renowned British architects Terry Farrell and Nicholas Grimshaw embarked on a 15-year-long partnership in 1965. Based in London, and having both newly graduated, they collaborated on a number of Modernist housing projects with an acute awareness of the ideas, materials and technologies of their day. Amongst their most high profile projects were the late-1960s apartments at 125 Park Road – one of the first blocks in the UK funded and built on the co-ownership principle – and a student housing project with a distinctive spiralling staircase near Paddington. In 1977 they also collaborated on a factory in Bath for an American furniture company, which is now Grade II* listed by Historic England. Having parted ways in 1980, both Farrell and Grimshaw went on to achieve worldwide acclaim. Farrell found fame with the Post-Modern TV-AM studios, Embankment Place and the Vauxhall Cross HQ of MI5. Grimshaw designed the Eden Project, the Berlin stock exchange, the British Pavilion at Expo 92 in Seville and Waterloo International.
