International architecture firm Broadway Malyan has created a new role to spearhead its focus on landscape design and the public realm.
Philip Heaton, formerly director at Cracknell Architects, will head up the firm’s team which focuses on major public realm projects in the UK and the rest of the world.
To capitalise on the recent growth of its planning team following a series of major project wins, the practice has promoted Adam Ross to Director of Planning and Jeff Nottage to Associate Director of Planning in the UK.
It has also reinforced its Middle East team through the appointment of Sarah Richardson, who joins the practice as an Associate Planner in the firm’s Abu Dhabi office.
Board director Roger Tustain said: “These appointments will drive our ambitious growth plans for our integrated planning, masterplanning and design service and will support our wider UK and international growth strategy, increase the size, reach and expertise of our existing teams in response to growing client demand and are evidence of our continued investment in the practice, for our own benefit and clients’ businesses.
“The new positions will enhance our integrated planning, masterplanning and design offer, which is relevant to all our global markets. Internationally, evolving and established markets are developing planning policy frameworks to plan and control development. We are well placed to increase our market share across all markets.”
