Simon joined HTA in 1998 and became a partner in 2013. He has worked across a wide range of suburban and urban housing-led projects.
He has focused on innovation to create design quality, including new types of homes, and exploring the way new technologies can enhance our design process and improve the delivery of homes and communities. He has introduced new design software across the practice, allowing real-time visualisation and iteration of our concepts.
Simon has 10 years’ experience of delivering offsite manufactured homes a component of which is in the design of high-rise buildings including College Road, one of the world’s tallest and most complex off-site manufactured buildings which pioneered new ways of living as the first co-living building approved by the GLA. These large-scale urban projects are complimented by a portfolio of suburban neighbourhoods including the groundbreaking zero-carbon community at Hanham Hall.
