PTW Architects practice legacy is Peddle Thorp and Walker, a partnership between James Peddle, brothers Samuel and Frank Thorp and Ernest Walker. James Peddle, as foundational partner, established the practice in 1889 and invited his capable articled students to join him as partners - Samuel Thorp (1914), Ernest Walker (1925) and Frank Thorp (1929).
Peddle's continuing legacy includes an outward looking approach to seeking new ideas, approaches and technologies to adapt and innovate in design, documentation and construction; a commitment to improving social living conditions and an encouragement of staff to travel, study and work overseas. This legacy positioned the firm's ability to increasingly undertake diverse, commercial and institutional projects.

At this time he established an office as an architectural artist with a focus on residential projects. Samuel G Thorp joined the office as an articled pupil in 1902, becoming a partner by 1915.
