The name of Llewelyn Davies, in healthcare, aviation and master planning, has a distinguished history, extended over 6 decades and encompassing a spectrum of innovation. At the heart of our philosophy is the concept of designing for change, being concerned with the ability of buildings and their environments to flex or adapt.
Llewelyn Davies has worked over 80 countries in the last 64 years and across six continents. This hugely successful track record in international architectural and planning projects is borne out of the firm’s reputation in the fields of healthcare, aviation and master planning.

The original partnership of Llewelyn-Davies Weeks was founded in 1960 by (Lord) Richard Llewelyn-Davies and John Weeks, both innovators in the design of flexible, highly serviced environments.
