Peter Foggo Associates was formed in 1989, by the design team led by Peter Foggo. The team had previously worked together as a group at Arup Associates and were responsible for a number of award winning projects, including the Gateway Buildings 1 & 2 at Basingstoke, 123 Buckingham Palace Road in Westminster, No1 Finsbury Avenue and Broadgate Phases 1-4 in the City of London.

The new practice quickly gained a reputation for designing innovative commercial schemes, clearly demonstrating the benefits of the fully integrated multi-disciplinary design team. The economic climate in the early 1990's meant that none of these early schemes were constructed prior to Peter Foggo's untimely death in 1993.
