James brings to projects his passion for creating contextual architecture and public realm design, based on a well-rounded creative and practical mindset with a great understanding of collaborations and the role the client, public and design team play in successful projects.

James has worked on many of our most complex planning consents across London in brownfield locations, working closely with the client, consultants, planning officers and stakeholders. Notable projects include Beckton Riverside, the first phase of a new major town centre in Newham; Brunel Street Works, a detailed planning application for 975 new homes and over 9,000 square metres of non-residential mixed uses; and Tolworth, a residential led 950 home neighbourhood in the Royal Borough of Kingston.

More recently, James has led on Little George Street, a high-quality new Purpose-Built Student riverside scheme in Bristol, as well as Crown Wharf in Canning Town, a successful detailed planning consent for 870 homes in buildings up to 30 storeys, in collaboration with Metropolitan Workshop Architects. He also worked on the first phase of Ferrum in Wembley, Poplar Riverside and Lewisham Exchange.

James’s current focus is establishing and growing the Bristol Studio, focusing on urban regeneration projects around the Southwest.

Our people are the heart of who we are.
