Chris Abell
Senior Consultant
Chris joined 海角视频 in 2022 after the practice acquired Abell Nepp Architects to bolster its laboratory planning and design service offer within the Healthcare, Science and Technology sector.
Prior to co-founding Abell Nepp in 2009, Chris worked in the offices of Norman Foster and RMJM London for a combined 20 years. At RMJM he was director in charge of major science projects including the Medical Research Council鈥檚 new 拢159m LMB in Cambridge, which won the S-lab Laboratory of the Year in 2014.
He passionately supports a design-led approach to our science projects that integrates the technical requirements into an efficient delivery strategy. 鈥榃orking on such projects necessitates open, direct and collaborative dialogue between clients and the project team. When this is achieved the results are buildings which translate the clients鈥� organisational aspirations.鈥�
One of Chris鈥檚 projects has been leading Abell Nepp鈥檚 team for AstraZeneca鈥檚 Global R&D Headquarters in Cambridge UK designed by Herzog de Meuron and BDP.
