The studio, which is the largest in the UK, was engaged in two projects in the country. Its withdrawal follows fellow UK studios David Chipperfield Architects and Zaha Hadid Architects' suspension of work in Russia last week.

Invasion "against every value we hold"

Swiss studio Herzog & de Meuron also announced that it would stop working in Russia in the wake of its invasion of Ukraine, which began on 24 February.

"The invasion of Ukraine and the violent actions of Putin and the Russian government are against every value we hold as an international, collaborative practice," said the studio.

"Therefore, Herzog & de Meuron has decided to suspend our work on Russian projects."
