Senior Associate

Hannah has extensive experience across new build and existing building projects and her work demonstrates a comprehensive understanding of various construction forms, ages, and materials, with particular expertise in the repair and refurbishment of listed buildings.

She possesses a rigorous appreciation of the engineering and conservation complexities inherent in historic structures, bringing sensitivity to projects that require enhancing and reconfiguring buildings for modern use while respecting their historic significance.

Throughout her career, Hannah has worked on numerous high-profile projects involving Grade I, Grade II*, and Grade II listed buildings. Her work includes the award-winning Longwall Library at Magdalen College, Oxford, where she oversaw the complete replacement of the internal structure, lowering of ground levels, and delivery of a large L-shaped extension that increased study capacity from 48 to 120 places. At the Grade I Listed British Academy on Carlton House Terrace, she oversaw the structural input for transforming the Georgian building, creating a double-height event space and a 220-seat auditorium while the building remained operational during construction.

Her experience spans diverse building types and uses, from the conversion of industrial buildings to create Newport Street Gallery, winner of the RIBA Stirling Prize, to the transformation of Pennington Street Warehouse into a flexible business hub. She has provided engineering advice for the Whitechapel Bell Foundry’s conversion into artist studios and workspace, and worked on Denmark Street’s collection of listed terrace houses as part of the £150 million Outernet development.

Hannah’s commercial experience includes structural engineering input for the London Stock Exchange Group at 10 Paternoster Square, involving due diligence, feature stair design, and fit-out works across multiple floors. Her approach consistently demonstrates technical proficiency combined with an understanding of the complexities involved in major refurbishments and phased construction projects.
