Millbank, Westminster RIBA STAGE 2/3

Perhaps my most important project achievement within JMP was as Architect on the successful planning permission for the adaptive reuse of the Millbank Tower in Pimlico from offices into riverside apartments. This immensely significant listed 30 storey modern building presented a real challenge given its status and adjacency to the world heritage site of Parliament Square and Westminster. I worked in a very difficult programme and complex team to provide multiple studies and evaluations all of which were instrumental in achieving a permission for a radical change of use. The extensive curtain walling with nevertheless opaque spandrel and balustrade height panels would provide good daylight but a degree of intimacy to the interiors. In successive consultation meetings, both WCC and HE were supportive of the idea, subject to suitable evolution of the design and the cladding being re-instated as faithfully as possible. The team set out to design ideal units to the highest sustainability standards, Lifetime Homes compliance, and aimed at achieving the required development standard of Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4. The flats are also fully accessible, and have good daylighting standards.

I took on progressive levels of responsibility, which led to my heavy involvement in leading the Stage 4 facades package, as well as seeing the project into construction on a monitoring role. I developed my skills to produce technical information, communicating confidently with suppliers and a large group of consultants, with whom I have formed close working relationships. I was heavily involved with the production of the facades package, which I took ownership of following a change in the team structure. This provided me with the engaging role I had been looking for, improving my detailing skills as well as exposing me to working closely with a large consultant team, and being directly involved with the contractor.
