HGP Greentree Allchurch Evans Architects

HGP Greentree Allchurch Evans Architects and Leonhardt Andra Architects were the companies chosen to design the Spinnnaker Tower. Together they came up with three designs that were then put to a public vote. The three designs were:- the Globe, the Spinnaker and the Triple Tower. The Spinnaker won the vote after 60% of nearly 13.000 people voted for it.
The reason behind building the Spinnaker was that it was a part of the millenium regeneration of Portsmouth Harbour to bring it upto date and celebrate Portsmouth's maritime history.

HGP Greentree Allchurch Evans Architects have a wide portfolio of work in many different areas such as:- Marine, Eduacational, Leisure, Conservation, Residentual, Retail and Commercial sectors.

HGP masterplanned Gunwharf Quays working alongside Portsmouth City Council as a lottery funded project directly next to the Spinnaker Tower.
