Richard joined Hodder + Partners in 2017 having achieved a distinction in his Masters of Architecture at Manchester School of Architecture.
Richard moved to Manchester having been an undergraduate in Nottingham and working in London. He joined Hodder+Partners, having chosen to put down roots after falling in love with Greater Manchester, grateful to have the opportunity to work within the area.
Since being with the practice Richard has been working with the team producing a framework and masterplan for the regeneration of the Bedminster area of Bristol City Centre. This has then led to the successful planning approval of a build to rent residential scheme and a new multi-storey car park adjacent to Little Paradise and Malago Road. The residential scheme provides over 300 apartments complete with modern resident facilities including a lounge, street facing terraces and a resident’s gym.
Richard has been leading on the submitted application for a further 3 buildings within the master plan delivering 339 apartments around a regenerated public green.
With Hodder + Partners Richard has assisted in successfully achieving planning for St Michael’s – a mixed use development on the site of the former police station and synagogue, adjacent to Albert Square and the historic core. Working within the wider team, this involved the use of BIM to provide the drawings for the application as well as the production of a model to co-ordinate with other disciplines involved in the project. He now forms part of the design team bringing Phase 2 of the project forward.
