HYPHEN is an international architectural practice with offices in Europe and Latin America. The company specializes in the retail, workplace, data center, and logistics sectors.[1][2][3][4]

History

HYPHEN (Hyphen Archi Ltd.) was established in 1980, opening its first office in Winchester, UK. Originally named Househam Henderson, the firm started expanding in the early nineties and now operates 10 offices in cities across Europe and Latin America.[5][6][6][7]

In late 2017, the company was rebranded as Hyphen. Pentagram created Hyphen's identity using a stencilled-alphabet and a simple color scheme highlighted by neon green, for a distinctive brand look.[8][9]

In March 2019, Hyphen collaborated with Lush's in-house design team and Portview to transform a space into the world's largest Lush store in Liverpool.[10][11]

In 2021, the company opened a new office in Belfast, citing dual market access, particularly in retail and logistics.[12][13]

In 2022, HYPHEN and Trinity Winchester, Ridge LLP, and Bentley Projects were awarded the Property Week's RESI Award in the "Health and Wellbeing Initiative – Residential" category for Bradbury View residential.[14]

In 2023, the company was included in the Building Design's WA100 list of the world's largest practices[15] and in the Architects’ Journal's AJ100 list.[16] At the same time, Hyphen Archi opened an office in Mexico City.
