His past projects include London King’s Cross Gasholders, the re-purposing of the Grade-II listed triplet cast iron gasholder; Guangzhou International Finance Center, one of the tallest buildings in the world; and was the project architect for the Cooled Conservatories at Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay, working on the project from the initial, competition-winning designs in 2006 to its successful completion in 2012.
