GUSTAFSON PORTER
Gustafson Porter is based in London and has projects in Britain, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
Gustafson Porter operates across the diverse disciplines of landscape, architecture, engineering and design.
Their work expresses the tension and balance between opposing forces in the built and natural worlds
in a striking and contemporary manner. Gustafson Porter’s work is inspired by the complexity of the human
condition and the desire for stability as well as change in the modern world. The approach is simultaneously
rational and emotional, disciplined but loose, structured yet ever changing.
