With his background in environmental performance, sustainability and integrated design, Stephen’s approach to projects is multidisciplinary in nature. His broad range of skills and experience enables him to influence strategic project development from an early stage. Since being at BuroHappold this list has included the British Museum, Natural History Museum, Royal Shakespeare Theatre, the Grand Egyptian Museum, and the Louvre, Abu Dhabi. In 2021, Stephen relocated to München to support our growth in Europe with his German language skills and project experience. Stephen’s Cultural projects in Europe currently include, Konzerthaus München, Stadttheater Koblenz, Museum der Moderne, Berlin, Exilmuseum, Berlin and Rostock State Archaeological Museum. “I am hugely motivated by the contribution to outcomes that I can make as a Building Engineering Consultant. I am passionate about creating places for people, ensuring today’s discerning audiences are able to enjoy the visual and performing arts in a range of diverse venues and cultural districts to maximise impact. I became an engineer to solve problems and I still thrive on this, the more complex the better. I am fascinated by team dynamics and communication and committed to clarity and understanding. Cultural venues are truly transformative places. Where else can you travel through time, explore the world, and listen to the life stories of strangers without leaving your seat? Their value to society is unique, and an experience that starts at an individual level can radiate across cities and communities with magnified impact.”
