Heatherwick Studio exists to make unique design projects happen. Established by Thomas Heatherwick in 1994, it is recognized for its work in:
architecture

The practice operates from a studio and workshop in Kings Cross, London. This is an environment in which project management and implementation takes place in parallel with model-making, prototyping and experimentation with ideas, materials and manufacturing processes.

He is an honorary fellow of the RIBA, a Royal Designer for Industry, a Senior Fellow of the Royal College of Art and has honorary doctorates from Sheffield Hallam, Manchester Metropolitan and Dundee Universities.
