Project Director
Chris has over 20 years of experience with a particular emphasis on rail and infrastructure design and planning, encompassing all design stages, and a specialisation in the integration and connectivity between metro stations and topside development. The majority of this direct experience has been gathered in Hong Kong working with KCRC and MTRC, making use of the Hong Kong “rail plus property” model, whereby the development rights above the stations is used to fund the cost of railway construction.
The expertise that Chris has honed in Hong Kong has been applied abroad. Chris has taken a leading role in such projects as the Incheon International Airport’s Ground Transportation Centre (Seoul), as well as two iconic high speed rail stations in China – Beijing South and Guangzhou South.
Chris is currently leading a team to develop the design of the new Singapore high-speed rail terminus, including connectivity to the surrounding Jurong Lake District masterplan. The new railway will provide a 90 minute link to Kuala Lumpur.
Other notable projects that Chris has worked on include the include the Sheraton Dameisha (Shenzhen), The Richardson (Perth), Walton Plaza (Shanghai), and numerous mixed-use urban design masterplans.
