John Puttick Associates was founded in 2014, initially working from New York on a series of residential and interiors projects in the United States in addition to a gallery for emerging artists in Beijing. In 2015, the practice won a prestigious international competition to refurbish Preston Bus Station. The listed 1960s Brutalist landmark building still remains the UK’s largest facility of its kind. The project also includes a 2600 sqm standalone building on the site offering cultural and recreational facilities for the local community.
