Ben joined the practice in September 2014, after completing his Part 1 and Part 2 qualifications at the Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff University. During his master’s program, he completed a year-long internship at CDR Studio, a multidisciplinary architecture firm based in New York City.
Since joining Hollaway, Ben has contributed to a wide range of projects across various sectors. As a key member of Kent’s Studio 1 team, he has developed particular expertise in mixed-use developments and large-scale residential projects across Kent. His notable masterplan projects include 260 new dwellings at Riverside Park, the redevelopment in the heart of Ashford including Victoria Way, and Oast Park, which involved the relocation of a football clubhouse and stands, the construction of 150 new dwellings, and a new multi-level driving range.
In 2021, Ben was promoted to Associate Architect and has since served as the project architect for several high-profile projects, including The Seahive Wave Lagoon at Betteshanger Park, the new Stevenson Brothers rocking horse workshop in High Halden, as well as overseeing several bespoke residential dwellings from inception to completion.
Beyond architecture, Ben has a deep appreciation for nature and is an avid wildlife photographer, traveling to destinations such as Iceland, Sweden, and the United States in search of the perfect photo.
