Geoff is Healthcare Studio / Out-of-hospital-care subsector lead for Arcadis, currently responsible for leading the design of healthcare, (life-)science, and workplace schemes across the UK. He also contributes strategy and masterplanning expertise to our education-led and residential-led schemes. 

He specialises in early-stage strategic to conceptual design, working with clients and stakeholders to transform an initial brief into feasible and implementable design options, then taking these projects on to planning, maximising development value. Alongside this he also contributes commercial experience and expertise in delivery, managing programmes to budget whilst delivering best value. With a passion for design excellence, he has worked on a number of projects which have achieved awards throughout his career. 

Recent and current projects include:
-Strategic hospital estate masterplans (e.g. North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust, and Mount Vernon Hospital)
-Acute hospital design including MMC/DfMA/Industrialised construction application for New Hospital Programme schemes, (e.g. The Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust)
-NHS (Property) redevelopment projects designed to deliver fit-for-purpose community healthcare services within mixed-use sites,
- Design for science including Rosalind Franklin Institute, and National Satellite Test Facility  (Harwell campus),
- Extra-care and dementia care buildings (HAPPI).

Geoff has academic and professional qualifications in architecture and landscape architecture, working on projects in both the private and the public sector. Being dual-qualified brings significant benefits to feasibility and capacity studies, especially as an early contributor to place-making. His work embeds evidence-based research such as:
-NHS England’s Healthy New Towns placemaking principles,
-“4 Labs 4 Cities” research project to examine how architecture, environmental leadership and smart technology can help us rethink the modern campus configuration.
-NHS strategic transformation programme (services and estates).
-“Clever Classrooms” research in collaboration with Salford University demonstrating that school building design has demonstrable impacts on the learning rates of primary students. 
-the New Economics Foundation’s “5 Ways to Wellbeing”,
-HAPPI-informed residential for seniors and in care environments,
