Regine is an architect and RIBA Conservation Registrant whose eclectic portfolio fuses contemporary design with careful management of the heritage environment. She has over a decade of experience running complex projects with multiple constraints that require high levels of public engagement, working in collaboration with multi-disciplinary teams. Her career began at Foster + Partners, where she spent five years and gained her professional qualification whilst working on the Imperial War Museum in London. During her eight-year tenure at Make, she worked on projects in Harrods Department Store and collaborated with Donald Insall Associates on the regeneration of Hornsey Town Hall and Seymour Leisure Centre before joining the practice in 2022. Regine’s wide-ranging projects include fabric repairs for high-profile, Grade I-listed buildings such as the Palace of Westminster and the New West End Synagogue; a retrofit project at Eaton Square for Grade II and II* buildings; a façade retention scheme in Oxford Street; and multiple feasibility and interior reconfiguration projects at Kensington Palace and the Tower of London, for Historic Royal Palaces. Regine’s strengths and experience lie in the sensitive adaptation and reuse of historic buildings to ensure the longevity and continued use of our built heritage. At the core of her interest, is the desire to conserve and celebrate the ‘sense of place’ in the context of her work. In the past, she has critiqued and advised on student work at the University of Manchester and Nihon Fukushi University. She is also a trained mental health first aider.
