History
Knight Architects was established by Martin Knight, a former Associate Director at WilkinsonEyre.[2]
Notable Projects
- Network Rail FLOW Bridges (Ongoing): A suite of Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Bridges.[3]
- Colne Valley Viaduct (2025): Part of the High Speed 2 (HS2) project. Knight Architects provided the concept design for the 3.4km structure, which became the longest railway bridge in the UK upon completion.[4][5]
- Kruunusillat (ongoing): A 1.2km cable-stayed bridge in Helsinki, designed in collaboration with WSP Finland to be the longest bridge in Finland.[6]
- Küstrin-Kietz Rail Crossing (2024): A 266-meter network arch bridge crossing the Oder river between Germany and Poland. It is the first heavy-rail bridge in the world to use carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) hangers as primary load-bearing elements.[7][8]
- New Pooley Bridge (2020): The UK's first stainless steel road bridge, replacing a structure destroyed during Storm Desmond.[9]
- Merchant Square Footbridge (2014): A movable "fan bridge" in Paddington Basin, London, featuring five cantilevered beams that open in a sequence inspired by a Japanese hand fan.[10]
