Sophie is an Associate and Architect at JTP’s London studio, with extensive experience leading complex, large-scale. mixed-use regeneration projects across the UK. Across all her work, she brings a consistent commitment to creating beautiful, healthy and inclusive places to live, that support long-term wellbeing and community life.
She has specialist expertise in estate regeneration, town centres and challenging brownfield sites, including developments involving multiple High-Risk Buildings. Committed to social mobility, she is particularly focused on delivering high-quality, affordable homes and inclusive regeneration, and is currently leading several major planning applications nationwide.
Since joining JTP in 2017, she has played a key role in a wide range of high and low-density projects in both urban and rural settings. Her portfolio includes exemplar affordable housing and community-led regeneration schemes, from the multi-award-winning Blackbird Leys estate regeneration in Oxford and the PBSA and affordable housing regeneration of Devonshire Place in Southwark, to lower-density countryside neighbourhoods such as Knowle Park in Surrey and Channels in Chelmsford.
As Project Lead for the Great North Leisure Park redevelopment in Finchley, Sophie led the design and planning application for the transformation of a car-dominated brownfield site into a sustainable mixed-use neighbourhood. The scheme is set to provide 1,502 homes alongside a new leisure centre, retail spaces, extensive public realm, over 300 new trees and two hectares of green space. With a strong focus on health and wellbeing, the project achieves a 157% biodiversity net gain and is Air Quality Positive, helping to reconnect a fragmented part of Finchley into a thriving, well-connected community.
As Project Lead for Blackbird Leys, she oversaw the delivery of 294 affordable, low-energy homes, a new community centre, retail spaces, a public square and major public realm improvements. Developed through continuous community engagement, the project placed local people at the heart of the design process. In 2024, it received three Planning Awards, including Best Housing Scheme (Under 500 Homes) and the Award for Community-Led Placemaking.
Sophie is currently leading the town centre and estate regeneration of Chrisp Street Market in Poplar, East London – a complex multi-tenure, mixed-use scheme that will breathe new life into this crucial district centre in London’s historic East End. At its heart is JTP’s bespoke engagement programme, through which Sophie has overseen engagement with thousands of residents, traders and community groups, embedding their feedback directly into the emerging masterplan. The approach has helped create a shared vision rooted in lived experience and local pride and was shortlisted for a Pineapple Award in 2026.
Alongside projects, Sophie plays an active role in contributing to JTP’s wider culture and practice. She is closely involved in JTP Engages, helping to develop inclusive and effective community engagement processes; she leads JTP’s Health and Wellbeing Group, embedding health-focused objectives across our projects; and is a member of JTP’s AI Working Group.
Sophie is a member of Women in Property and sits on the Board of the Young Architects and Developers Alliance, promoting stronger collaboration between young architects and developers. In 2023, she was named one of Property Week’s RESi Trailblazers, recognising emerging leaders in the UK property industry.
