Senior Associate
Adrian brings nearly 30 years of experience across engineering projects spanning healthcare, cultural institutions, residential developments, and commercial buildings.
His work encompasses both new construction and complex refurbishments of landmark historic buildings, with particular expertise in constrained urban sites and high-end residential projects.
For the past two decades, Adrian has provided structural engineering advice to The Crown Estate, reviewing proposals and liaising with design teams as part of the lessee Licence to Alter process. This work includes projects on grand houses around Regent’s Park and listed embassies in Kensington Palace Gardens, often involving deep basements and significant deconstruction elements. In this capacity, he reviews temporary works proposals and construction sequences, whilst also serving as party wall engineer for both The Crown Estate and neighbouring properties.
Adrian has developed a strong background in healthcare engineering through his involvement in major hospital projects. At The London Clinic, he served as Project Engineer for a new-build cancer treatment centre, which included housing lined linear accelerator bunkers in a fifteen-metre deep basement. He also led the structural design and construction of a cutting-edge operating theatre extending over two floors within the same complex.
His cultural sector experience includes a longstanding role at the British Museum, advising on exhibit displays and gallery refurbishments. He was also visiting engineer for the Royal Academy of Arts’ rebuilding of Gallery 9, following its damage by fire. This involved creating a new courtyard and basement, introducing a new dome over the main hall, and adding new lighting in the Friends Room. At Hackney Empire Theatre, he worked as resident engineer on the restoration and refurbishment of the early twentieth-century building.
Additionally, Adrian successfully led the design team for 21 Lime Street, a seven-storey office block in the City of London, and holds technical responsibility within the firm for demolition techniques.
