Director and Trustee

Adam joined the firm in 1996 and brings nearly 30 years of practice to his engineering work across the firm.

Adam has worked on a broad range of structural and civil engineering projects. His experience encompasses a range of new buildings and complex refurbishment works on existing buildings. His work includes award-winning schemes for some of the nation’s most notable museums, art galleries and institutional buildings.

Adam has also overseen our work at the Palace of Westminster during the last decade, ensuring we continue to provide comprehensive structural engineering advice with clarity and precision on a series of complex and challenging sites.

In addition to this, he has led some of the practices most special award-winning projects including the Everyman Theatre (RIBA Stirling Prize Winner 2014) and the University of Greenwich’s School of Architecture (RIBA Stirling Prize shortlisted in 2015). These projects demonstrate a consistent belief in the creation of outstanding cultural and education spaces that are flexible and sensitive to their context. The success of these projects can be attributed to Adam’s attention to detail, awareness of key issues and close collaboration with the wider design team.

He specialises in complex refurbishment works and has delivered projects at the Palace of Westminster, Tate Britain, the Royal Academy of Arts, the V&A, the Royal College of Music, the British Museum and the National Gallery and many more.

Beyond project work, Adam is responsible for the day-to-day management of the firm and ensuring the firm’s accumulated knowledge is collected, distilled and shared internally. This commitment to training ensures that the wealth of our collective previous experience is brought to all of our projects.
