A very experienced and senior project architect, John has been with the practice since early 2011 and appointed specifically as lead architect on the new station and urban realm that we are designing at Abbey Wood on the south east spur of the Crossrail route.
With many years spent working in the high profile and exacting environments of design studios like Foster and Partners, MacCormac Jamieson Prichard and John McAslan, John is a very capable and inspiring designer with a great eye for detail. In recent years John has been involved in some of Londons most significant transportation and infrastructure projects such as Bond Street Station on Crossrail, Kings Cross Station and the Jubilee Line Extension at Waterloo, London Bridge and Southwark Stations. Previously John was involved in other more regenerative and commercial projects such as the new BBC building in Portland Place and mixed use developments in London's West End.
In all these projects John has worked in a senior and lead position and played an instrumental part in the design and delivery processes. With this background, John has developed and honed an in depth understanding of all stages of the project from the concept design stages to the preparation of complex construction packages for tender to the on site construction phases.
At Fereday Pollard, John has formed a close working relationship with Balfour Beatty Rail, our Clients on Abbey Wood and with the wider Parsons Brinkerhoff engineering design team, in which John takes plays a key role. Having, successfully delivered Grip Stage 4 on Abbey Wood for the practice, John is continuing with ongoing design development and co-ordination in preparation for Grip Stage 5 and the later site construction stages.
