PLP Architecture is an architecture firm based in London. In June 2016, the firm received planning permission for 22 Bishopsgate, the tallest tower in the City of London.

The firm was founded by Lee Polisano, former President of the American firm Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF), David Leventhal, former KPF Senior Partner, and Fred Pillbrow, Karen Cook and Ron Bakker, all former KPF Partners, following their departure from the firm's London office in 2009. Pilbrow soon left the start-up to start his own firm. The firm now counts numerous other former KPF employees as partners, including Mark Kelly, formerly a director at KPF, and Kevin Flanagan, Alessandra Luzzatto, Andrei Martin, Rob Peebles, and Bernard Storch.

In 2015, PLP completed the world's most sustainable office building according to the Building Research Establishment (BRE), The Edge, in Amsterdam.

In June 2016, PLP received planning permission for 22 Bishopsgate, which will be the tallest tower in the City of London, a 62-storey multiple tenancy office tower developed by a consortium led by AXA Real Estate. The building is expected to provide workspaces for nearly 12,000 people, and to be the first building in London to be WELL Certified, a building rating system focused on human health and wellness.

In 2016 the practice has completed the new biomedical research facility for the Medical Research Council, The Francis Crick Institute at King's Cross St. Pancras together with HOK,; the new headquarters for major broadcaster Sky UK, and The Collective Old Oak, the largest co-living development in the world. Projects under construction, among other projects, are: the new Crossrail over-site development at Bond Street tube station,. Research projects include; Oakwood Tower research, in collaboration with Cambridge University and Smith and Wallwork Engineers, a study into wooden skyscrapers and CarTube, a mobility concept which combines two existing modes of transport, automated electric cars and mass transit, into a single, seamless underground road system.
