Hugh Broughton Architects

Hugh Broughton Architects was formed in 1996 and has developed a reputation for carefully crafted contemporary architecture, winning awards from the RIBA, Civic Trust and International Property Federation. The practice has designed projects for many high profile clients including The British Council, The National Galleries of Scotland, The Henry Moore Foundation, Royal Society of Chemistry and Royal College of Surgeons. The practice has a reputation for producing respectful contemporary refurbishments of sensitive historic buildings, most notably the upgrade of the TUC's Grade II* listed HQ, Congress House, in London (completed in 2008) and Maidstone Museum & Bentlif Art Gallery, which recently reopened to the public to wide critical acclaim.
 
In 2005, working with AECOM, Hugh Broughton Architects won the international competition to design Halley VI Antarctic Research Station for the British Antarctic Survey on the floating Brunt Ice Shelf, an extraordinary project, which has led to further international commissions in both polar regions for the USA and Spain. Halley VI will officially open in January 2013.
