Congratulations to Jordan on his Part III success!

We are delighted to report that our talented staff team member Jordan Beattie has succeeded in gaining his RIBA Part III qualification to become a fullyfledged architect.

Jordan is already a familiar face around the practice, having won the Hamilton Architects Young Designer of the Year Award in 2017 and spending a year at the office as part of his prize.

He returned to the office as a full-time member of staff after completing his Masters in Architecture at Ulster University and has been involved in a number of high profile projects over the past several years.

Before that, having graduated top of his year with a BA (Hons) in Architecture, his talent was recognised in nominations for the President’s Silver Medal Award for both the RSUA and the RIBA.

Jordan says he has a particular interest in urban renovation - creating new life for old buildings and forgotten spaces in a cost-effective, sustainable way that creates value for their users and the wider community.

Recognition for two of our most valued senior staff

The accomplishments of two of Hamilton Architects’ most skilled and valued members of the senior team, Peter Carr and Mark Priestley, have been further recognised by the practice.

Peter, who has been an invaluable asset since joining us in 1993, has stepped into the role of Senior Associate. Peter’s commitment to excellence has been unwavering and he has consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership skills and a drive for achieving outstanding results.

In another significant career milestone, Mark Priestley has been made an Associate. Mark’s exceptional skills, strong attention to detail, and excellence in team leadership have made a significant contribution to our success as a business over the past several years. Please join us in congratulating Peter and Mark as we continue to prosper and grow together as a team!
