Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners is a British architectural firm. Established in 2007, it was previously known as the Richard Rogers Partnership.

The firm's principal offices are located at Thames Wharf Studios in London. It also maintains offices in Madrid, Tokyo and Sydney. As of December 2010 the firm has 176 employees and 10 partners, including Richard, Lord Rogers.[1]

The practice is strongly focused on sustainability, urban regeneration and social awareness, themes that have long been a feature of Rogers' work. Celebration of public space and the encouragement of public activities is also a recurring theme.[2][non-primary source needed]

The Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners practice is owned by a charitable trust, ensuring that no individual owns any share in its value and preventing private trading and inheritance of shares. The practice divides its profits between all of the staff and their chosen charities, according to publicly declared principles.[3][non-primary source needed]
