Graham McClements

Principal -

E: -

Graham was an architect principal and the design lead on our largest interdisciplinary project, the restoration and renewal of the Palace of Westminster.

His previous roles include London and South Region Chair, and head of the workplace sector. This depth of experience of all facets of the practice's expertise is allied to a strong commitment to interdisciplinary design excellence and client satisfaction.

Significant past projects include an R&D centre and HQ for a global pharmaceuticals company in south east England and headquarters projects for a range of corporate and public sector clients across the UK and internationally.

His work on the Palace of Westminster has developed a strong interest in work in heritage settings and, more generally, in the environmental benefits of reuse and adaptation of buildings to meet future needs.

What will architectural practices be like in the future?

“In architecture, knowledge and professional competence, including in the crucial matter of sustainable development, will be increasingly codified and widely available. As architects, our value will be increasingly determined by the cultural meaning and simple delight we can bring to dense urban living.”
