Chris' experience spans a wide range of typologies, including residential, hospitality, office, cultural, and infrastructure projects. He is particularly skilled in managing large-scale and high-rise developments, utilising advanced digital technology to address complex design challenges. He has built a notable portfolio of international projects, including One Thousand Museum in Miami and The Henderson in Hong Kong. He deeply values team-building and mentorship, working closely with young architects and supporting them with his expertise. Currently, he is directing the International Gateway Centre in Hong Kong and The Delmore in Miami.

Chris began his architectural career in the US. Prior to joining ZHA, he worked at Foster + Partners with their Specialist Modelling Group, where he developed a keen interest in using digital technology to solve intricate design problems. 

Chris holds a Bachelor of Science in Finance with Honours from the University of South Carolina Honors College and earned his Master of Architecture from Clemson University in South Carolina. His interest in the relationship between architectural form and drawing techniques has led him to lecture at the Architectural Association (AA) in London and serve as a guest critic at Georgia Institute of Technology in the US.

Chris has always had a passion for hands-on creation. Among his most treasured projects are the refurbishment of his home and the transformation of ZHA’s new office headquarters into a welcoming workspace. Beyond architecture, he is an avid runner and cyclist, regularly competing in races like the London Marathon.
