Heatherwick Studio has announced a round of redundancies just a month after its latest accounts showed a drop in profit and turnover.

The architecture practice is making 12 staff redundant, nearly 6% of its 200-plus staff.

It blamed the fact that its work on several large projects had tailed off.

Its , issued last month, revealed that turnover was down 30% in the year to March 2018 while pre-tax profit was down by 82%. A 拢984,466 tax rebate for R&D made profit after tax look slightly better.

A note in the accounts signed by Heatherwick said the drop 鈥渨as anticipated鈥�, also blaming the phasing of projects which were entering their latter stages. The note added: 鈥淭he studio has increased its investment in staff training, which has impacted the staff utilisation rate and overheads rate.鈥�

Heatherwick Studio has also been on the ropes in recent days over its doomed Garden Bridge project. This week TfL published details of where had been spent, including 拢52,425 paid directly to the studio and 拢2.7m paid to an entity labelled 鈥淎rup-Thomas Heatherwick鈥�.

In a statement it said: 鈥淗eatherwick Studio has grown every year for the last eight years and is currently working on approximately 30 projects of all scales around the world. This year also sees the completion of several projects in the UK, US and Singapore.

鈥淟ast year, the most intensive periods of several large projects coincided, creating a need for an exceptional level of design capacity.

鈥淭his means we, regrettably, needed to make a small number of redundancies from our total of over 200 staff.鈥�

Last month its 拢1bn Olympia expansion in west London was given the green light by Hammersmith & Fulham council.
