DPP Shape is a studio of architects, urban designers, spatial planners and regeneration experts. It operates out of Manchester and through DPP LLP, has an office presence in ten regional UK cities.

The company was established in February 2009 offering something new in the business of design, planning, regeneration and place making. Led by architect Mick Timpson and spatial planner and regeneration expert Shelagh McNerney, and supported by DPP LLP, DPP Shape combines architecture and planning into an effective force for change. DPP Shape is not simply just architecture, or planning but a balanced mix of both. It believes this is a better way to shape change in our neighbourhoods, towns and cities in a faster, leaner and smarter way.
