PLP Labs is a design research collaborative operating at the intersection of technology, culture and space. We investigate possibilities and define solutions for tomorrow’s cities. We collaborate with leading experts from around the world and across a wide spectrum of disciplines to offer an expanded range of knowledge-based services. This cross-pollination allows the Labs to address new urban, human and digital frontiers. We aim to make cities more inclusive by increasing the number of voices participating in their change.
Our research is far-ranging, from design and technology to anthropology and social sciences. We dig deeper into the pressing issues affecting our societies and planet.
Our habits, cultures and simple needs have evolved. Our built environments need to catch up.
TEAM
Technology is fast. Buildings are slow. We are changing this - creating and advocating radical change to our cities and the systems that build them.

PLP Labs is all about collaboration. We strive to work with the best people, on ideas that matter.
Do you have a great idea? A concept that needs to be seen by the world? Or a problem with no obvious answer?
Get in contact with us. No idea is too big, too small or too out-of-the-box.
CAREERS
PLP Labs is recruiting an AR/VR digital designer to join its team in London.
PLP Labs is a London-based design research collaborative operating at the intersection of technology, culture and space.
We are seeking talented and motivated candidates to support a range of projects involving interactive digital design, robotics as well as AI/ML-driven technologies. Architecture or design backgrounds are preferred.
Applicants should be proficient coders and be familiar with advanced CAD platforms linked to AR/VR development such as Hololens, Grasshopper or Unity. Knowledge of simulation technologies is a plus.
We look for candidates with strong verbal and graphic communication skills, good design sensitivity and the ability to work independently whilst functioning in a team environment
