The prestigious studio, whose Fuglsang Kunstmuseum in Denmark was shortlisted for the 2009 Stirling Prize, officially appointed a liquidator on Wednesday (April 3). The total amount the company is owed is unclear.
It is understood that clinic founder Tony Fretton, 79, will continue to work with David Owen. His practice in Fitzrovia, which he worked as an architect for 20 years, has now closed, and now has his own practice.
Several jobs are believed to be transferred to David Irvine Architects, including the second phase of the Camden Arts Center refurbishment. The first phase was a major renovation of the 1897 home, completed in 2004.
Fratton, professor emeritus at the School of Architecture at TU Delft, will continue to teach at other universities.
Tony Fretton Architects works across Europe and in a variety of sectors, including high-profile arts and cultural projects and many highly regarded housing schemes.
Its outstanding residential developments include Crispin Kelly’s Baylight on Vassall Road in Lambeth (2008), the €4.5 million Molenplein townhouses in Den Helder on the Dutch North Sea coast (2013) and the Westkaai residential tower in Antwerp (2016 ).
This approach also applies to the homes of the likes of Anish Kapoor.
In addition to the City Hall and Administrative Center in Zeinze, Belgium (2016), the practice also completed the new British Embassy and Official Residence in Warsaw, Poland, in 2009.
Landmark cultural projects include Quay Art Space on the Isle of Wight (1997), Lisson Gallery in Bell Street, London (1992) and Langside Gallery in Yorkshire Sculpture Park (2003).
Tony Fratton and the Liquidators Carter Clark has been contacted for comment.
The news comes just weeks after London-based architect Sarah Wigglesworth decided to end her award-winning practice, Sarah Wigglesworth Architects, after 30 years.
