Devereux Architects, whose previous projects include the British Museum and Queen Mary’s Hospital in south-west London, has merged with Irish delivery specialist PM Group in a bid to expand its services to Ireland.

Ranked as one of the top 60 practices in the UK, Devereux wants to build up its expertise in large-scale health, education and research projects. The firm is currently involved in the redevelopment of Barts & The Royal London Hospital.

Devereux’s managing director, Nic Allen, said: “We have a real opportunity to develop a multiskilled,

multi-office architecture, engineering and project delivery capability.”
