Hgp Architects

In the search to expand their premises, HGP were commissioned by a local business to transform a brownfield site in Hove into a new contemporary development comprising of 56 apartments which sit over a new office space.
The challenge here was to overcome several contextual constraints and the resulting design is a culmination of lateral thinking whilst maintaining a clear urban design response. The design not only compliments the existing streetscape but also enhances the local vernacular with a selection of high-quality materials and crisp architectural details.

Members of the management team joined The Trident Forum’s annual dinner in the magnificent HMS Nelson Wardroom to celebrate their 20th Anniversary.
The Trident Forum is a network sponsored by professional advisors who specialise in working within the marine industry. The sponsors are BDO, Blake Morgan, HGP Architects, Propernomics, Royal Haskoning, and Vail Williams.
This year’s guest speaker, Captain IW Greenless, delivered a presentation about his journey within the Royal ...Navy which started in 1976. The highlight of his career was being in command of a Type 22 frigate, HMS London, from 1996-98. On promotion, he became Captain of the Base at Portsmouth in 2005 and later took on leadership of Naval Base Infrastructure & Transformation teams, shaping then delivering the joint MOD and Industrial development of the Naval Base for the Queen Elizabeth Class and the Future Navy 2020. Retiring from the Royal Navy in December 2015, he joined the Civil Service in the New Year and returned to the Base to complete the aircraft carrier development programme.

We certainly celebrated our milestone anniversary of 50 years in style.
Employees and their families spent all day and evening at Festi-Five-O in the idyllic setting in Droxford, enjoying food and drinks throughout the day, four amazing live bands, lawn games, sports days for both the children and adults! Face painting, a bouncy castle, and a lot of relaxing and socialising in the shade away from the hot summer sun.
Here’s to the next 50….

HGP Architects are proud to announce that The Southampton Harbour Hotel & Spa has been shortlisted for the Schüco Excellence Awards for Design and Innovation 2018, the winners will be announced at the Saatchi Gallery on the 21st June.

HGP secured planning for a housing scheme to build 133 homes across two sites in Bordon, Hampshire. Bordon is currently undergoing substantial regeneration as the MOD released land for development, with the Prince Philip Barracks influencing the character and structure for each area of the town.
The two sites fall within ‘Woodland Cluster’ zones defining each site as a separate cluster set within the existing woodland. Both will have a distinct communal core – a place where residents can meet, children can play and communal life is encouraged. Both sites are a mixture of 3, 4, and 5 bed houses with a focus on family dwellings.

Managing Director of HGP Architects, Guy Goodman, took part in this year’s Brighton2Brussels Charity Cycle Ride – raising money for local charities, which included: Albion in the Community, The Clock Tower Sanctuary, The Martlets Hospice, RISE and the Sussex Heart Charity.
This year’s ride took on a unique starting point from 450ft in the air at the Brighton i360 where the cyclists completed 40 laps around the pod to complete a “mile in the sky”. The cyclists then continued their challenge in Brussels where over the course of three days rode through Aalst, Oudenaarde, Bruges, Ypres, Lille then finally crossing the finish line back in Brighton.
The Brighton2Brussels Charity Bike Ride has raised over £50,000 so far this year! Congratulations to all who participated!

In this year’s Graphisoft ARCHICAD Awards, HGP Architects Southampton Harbour Hotel came runner up for Project of the Year. Congratulations to our excellent design team and great consultants.

The base will become a UK centre of excellence for ocean racing and will include a world-class boat facility, offices, training facilities and a visitor gallery which will allow the public to engage with the team.
In addition HGP have assisted in the extensive redevelopment of the marina and the creation of a new wave screen to the marina berths, which would see the addition of 50 new deep water moorings for larger boats and new wave break pontoons to provide more sheltered berthing in the north part of the marina.
