Over the last two decades, he has championed design and construction innovations that address the challenges of sustainable urban living through key projects, including Manhattan Loft Gardens and Nine Elms Square.

Furthering SOM’s commitment to accelerate the transition to a net zero carbon built environment, Phil also leads the firm’s research and innovation group in London. He regularly represents SOM at external forums where he shares his expertise on topics such as composite timber structural solutions, modular off-site fabrication, and fire safety design.

He is an elected member of the RIBA Practice and Policy Board Committee and also sits on the RIBA Housing Expert Advisory Group, which reviews policy and practice issues in the housing sector. He is the co-author of the Low Energy Transformation Initiative (LETI) guide to decarbonising through specification and procurement.
