Phil Shears, Director
Philip is a creative who understands the power of architecture to transform all our lives. With a keen eye for design quality, attention to detail and love of craftsmanship, he is recognised for delivering robust and elegant buildings.
He has a proven track record of significant landmark planning permissions in London. He has managed private estates that include notable listed buildings and has also been involved in large mixed-use developments in sensitive urban locations. Philip has worked for leading London practices, most recently as a Director at Squire and Partners – and, in joining Tom and Robert as a partner, he brings 20 years’ experience to the practice.
His understanding of some of the most competitive and high-value sectors in the industry adds a very commercial string to Woldon’s bow. In a collaborative environment where drawing on each other’s strengths and skills is key, his expertise is engaged in every corner of our practice.
Phil was integral in leading the design team who successfully obtained planning consent, with unanimous approval from London Borough of Camden, for Eagle Mews a creative workspace at 150 Royal College Street. The design will elevate a redundant car park space into a vibrant modern office.
The position of the building created some unique challenges, but through positive discussion between the design team and Camden planning, a striking commercial space sits proudly at the intersection of industrial canal, bridge and street.
"We understand the vital role of design, in creating intelligent and interesting buildings, in attracting and retaining the best employees. With a commercial mindset, Woldon has the expertise required to manage complex projects in the commercial sector." Phil Shears
