Sam has extensive experience leading complex new-build and refurbishment projects across the commercial, life sciences and residential sectors, particularly within sensitive urban and rural settings. His approach combines considered design, materiality and detailing with a practical understanding of the challenges presented by complex sites.

Sam has led major commercial projects for leading property owners and developers, including Ascent, a 105,000 sq ft lab-enabled building at ARC Oxford and the largest building delivered by the practice to date. ARC Oxford is a leading science campus, fostering innovation and collaboration among science and technology professionals. Other notable projects include The Hive at Croxley Park for Columbia Threadneedle and the extensive refurbishment of B1 at ARC Uxbridge.

Sam has developed particular expertise in designing buildings within sensitive riverside settings and floodplains, including the HSOBC Boathouse, an elite rowing facility for Headington School, Riverside House and Knighton Mill, a new private residence set among historic waterways within the Cranborne Chase National Landscape and shortlisted for the British Homes Awards' House of the Year.

Sam joined S&P in 2006 and became an equity holder in 2021. He leads the practice's QA and ISO team, continually working to improve design quality and professional standards.
