PRP hires Chapman Taylor’s Daw
Richard Daw has been appointed to lead the practice’s high-rise residential and mixed-use projects.
He joins PRP as a director having spent the last four years at Chapman Taylor, where he worked on Eda, a completed BTR development in Salford Quays, plans for more than 800 homes in the Wharfside area of Old Trafford, and a 30-storey tower in London’s Greenwich Peninsula.
“Manchester is a vibrant city with a rich architectural heritage and an exciting future, and I’m honoured to be part of shaping the built environment particularly in the North of England,” Daw said.
“I look forward to collaborating with clients, colleagues, and industry partners to push boundaries and explore new possibilities in design, with sustainability and wellbeing at the heart of everything we do.”
Daw will be based out of PRP’s Manchester office at Forty Princess Street and will lead PRP’s push into higher density housing schemes.
Alistair Weir, partner at PRP, said: “Richard joins the Manchester studio at an exciting time following several years of growth, prompting a move to bigger office last year.
“We see the opportunity for high-density housing in the north of England as a key part of the necessary change needed to provide homes and places for those who need them. We welcome Richard’s leadership experience, design acumen and enthusiasm for the sector.”
PRP Manchester employs 26 staff.
