van Heyningen and Haward Architects began life in 1977 as a husband and wife practice based in the family home in North London, designed by Joanna van Heyningen and Birkin Haward. Over the following decades, Joanna was responsible for designing many great buildings which bear the vHH stamp, as well as making a wider contribution to the practise of architecture in her own inimitable style. The practice sends its warmest congratulations to Jo for a well-deserved honour.
