Key projects cover a range of sectors, varying from small bespoke fitouts to large-scale urban masterplans:

Office projects include headquarters for the British fashion brand Reiss and Britain's largest public trade union UNISON HQ,[2] prominent Central London developments at 5 Hanover Square,[3] and 11 Baker Street, and bespoke interiors at the Stratton Street offices in Mayfair, London.[4]

Masterplans include sites at One Tower Bridge,[5] Chelsea Barracks,[6] West India Quay, and most recently the Shell Centre on the Southbank [7] and the St. John's Wood Square redevelopment of St John's Wood Barracks.

Hotel projects include the five star Bulgari Hotel & Residences in London[8] with Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel and Partners, the boutique Rockwell Hotel,[9] and the Hilton Liverpool.

Squire and Partners has designed many of London's "prime presidential" developments[10] including Chelsea Barracks, One Tower Bridge, Clarges Mayfair, Ebury Square, Netherhall Gardens and The Knightsbridge Apartments.

Other projects include an education centre for the British Council in Nairobi[11] where the Visual Arts Department commissioned a site specific work for the new building from artist David Tremlett[12] and Howick Place, an arts based hub of apartments and studios for designer tenants including Tom Ford, Marc Newson and a gallery for Phillips de Pury.[13]

Squire and Partners also have their own property and business portfolio, including Urban Golf, which operates three indoor golf venues with golf simulators in Central London, a bar and restaurant at 06 St. Chads Place, mixed-use developments at Northdown Street and Clapham Park Road, The Rockwell Hotel, a house and apartment development on Liverpool Road, and the practice's own offices at 77 Wicklow Street.
