Andy von Bradsky

DipArch RIBA

Chairman

As Chairman, Andy is responsible for the growth, strategic planning and management of PRP’s six offices in London, Surrey, Manchester, Edinburgh, Abu Dhabi and Moscow. He is supported by the company’s Board of 10 Directors and heads the Board's Executive Committee.

His passion for place making, design excellence and sustainability is evident in his continued hands-on approach to the practice. He is lauded as a warm hearted, pragmatic and straight talking leader, who has a genuine concern for the communities and people that PRP aims to help through its work in regeneration, sustainability and residential design.

His experience lies in large scale housing and masterplanning projects in urban and suburban locations nationwide for both public and private sector clients.

He has been instrumental in developing PRP’s skills in regeneration, community consultation, sustainability and research and development in the London office, which he pioneered in 1994 and which has since become a large multi-disciplinary office offering architectural design, urban design, landscape design, environmental services, project management and quantity surveying for large scale complex projects.

One of the earliest ambassadors of sustainability in the industry, Andy drove the formation of an Environmental team at PRP, which now produces practical, economic solutions for low carbon and low energy homes in response to climate change. He continues to drive the environmental debate and leads the practice's input to the UK Green Building Council.

A regular speaker and contributor at national and international seminars and conferences, Andy is a keen advocate of research and best practice development and is spearheading a number of research projects to advance industry knowledge of housing design standards and its impact on end users and the society at large.
