Founded in Edinburgh in 1962 by Professor Percy Johnson Marshall, an architect and town planner of international repute. Johnson was planning consultant to the University of Edinburgh and was also involved in master plans for Sao Paulo, Porto, and Islamabad and various redevelopment schemes in UK towns such as Edinburgh, Kilmarnock and Salford.
The practice has developed and grown steadily across the UK. We opened our London studio in 1996, with Leeds following in 1997. In 2001 we merged with McKeown Alexander to form our Glasgow studio, and established our Manchester studio in 2003. In 2005 we acquired the well known Edinburgh practice of Wheeler & Sproson and in 2008 we opened new studios in Belfast and Abu Dhabi.
Maintaining a link to our heritage, we re-branded from Percy Johnson Marshall & Partners (PJMP) to jmarchitects in 2003.
