Blee Halligan is a RIBA registered and RIBA award- winning architecture firm, with offices in London and the Turks and Caicos Islands.

Blee Halligan was founded on the belief that architecture has the power to enrich daily life through its connection to the environment. For over a decade, founders Greg Blee and Lee Halligan have cultivated a global multidisciplinary practice in pursuit of design at the intersection of the natural world, human experience, and environmental stewardship.

From our offices in London and the Turks and Caicos Islands, we are dedicated to crafting resilient architecture throughout our world’s most delicate coastal ecosystems—a privilege that demands moving beyond cut-and-paste sustainability measures. Instead, we take an investigative approach that uncovers the distinct ecological, historical, and cultural context of each site.

No house should ever be on a hill or on anything. It should be of the hill. Belonging to it. Hill and house should live together each the happier for the other.– Frank Lloyd Wright

From this holistically informed perspective, we embed each building within the surrounding landscape. The result is timeless architecture that exists in rhythm with the environment. The hallmark of our portfolio is not a singular design gesture, but rather an architectural ethos that emphasizes climatic sensitivity, aesthetic beauty, and scientific rigor. 

 

We believe these principles are not mutually exclusive, nor are they constrained by a project’s scale, location, or typology. In evidence of that fact, we have successfully applied this nuanced approach to large-scale real estate developments, complex master plans, elegant private villas, and hurricane-resistant pavilions. 

As a testament to our firm’s intentional philosophy, our body of work has been honored with numerous regional, national, and international awards. In addition to receiving five accolades from the RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects), we were longlisted for the organization’s esteemed House of the Year Award. That same year, Derwent Valley Villa, a single-family home in the English countryside, was named one of the US publication Architectural Record’s Record Houses.
