Key Projects
- 38-70 Baker Street, London - I have worked closely with Derwent London, Lazari Investments and The Portman Estate to help secure planning permission for the comprehensive mixed-use office led redevelopment of a city block in Baker Street. The project was highly innovative in its approach to embodied carbon, circular economy and sustainable performance alongside the substantial public benefit and social value being delivered. This included off-site, affordable housing and a bespoke community space on site.
- Canary Wharf, London - I helped secure planning permission for Urbanest and UCL for the strategic redevelopment of a stalled residential site to deliver over 1500 student beds linked to UCL’s nearby campus. This included affordable student accommodation and affordable workspace within 46 and 36 storey buildings. The scheme has a Passivhaus accreditation and will deliver significant local benefits to the Blackwall area to the north.
