William is an architect and a healthcare researcher, working for Llewelyn Davies. His research in healthcare focuses in mental health care, informed partly by the Master of Research degree in Healthcare and Design and partly by his professional experience.
As an architect, William began working in the cultural and commercial sectors, completing buildings ranging from community centres to large-scale developments in London and Cambridge, before completing a post- graduate degree in Healthcare and Design in 2019 to facilitate a move into the healthcare sector.
His MRes project led to the development of new mental health patient facilities in Charing Cross Hospital, London. The work contributed to the development of new CQC guidelines, was shortlisted for the Design in Mental Health Network award and was exhibited at the European Healthcare Design Conference.
Working for Llewelyn Davies, William’s work has included projects at Great Ormond Street, University College of London and Barking Community hospitals. His projects focused on improving patient flow and experience for the existing hospitals. William’s current focus is a 30-bed inpatient mental health centre in Jersey. The project aspires to create a clinical environment that is conducive to patients’ recovery by thoughtful articulation of architecture and an inspirational integration of the landscape.
William is passionate about research and education. He is an external examiner with the University of Westminster for the Architecture Postgraduate Diploma in Professional Practice. He has also taught as a guest lecturer at the Royal College of Art, the University of Westminster, the University of Creative Arts, Kent and the University of Edinburgh.
His healthcare research was presented at the Humanities in the European Research Area (HERA) International Conference in Croatia. It is due to be published in 2022.
