Paul Simovic

Pioneering Sustainable Development

Paul’s experience in adaptive reuse has contributed to the development of a new generation of high-performance developments in London—buildings that promote sustainability and shape places for the future while preserving carbon and connections to the past. In the City of London, Panorama St Paul’s, has transformed an outdated 1980s office, increased floor area, retained much of the original structure, reused the stone from the original facades and radically improved environmental performance. Southbank Tower, a mixed-use development along the River Thames, demonstrated the potential to transform obsolete office spaces into residences. 105 Victoria Street, also in London, is a market-leading development that is set to become one of the UK’s largest 100% electric offices.

Shaping London’s Skyline

Paul’s deep understanding of policy and delivery in London has significantly shaped KPF’s presence on the City’s skyline. His ability to nurture long-term relationships with clients, fostering collaboration, innovation, and a shared vision between stakeholders and designers has delivered high-profile, high-performance buildings. Paul led the delivery of Heron Tower (110 Bishopsgate), a building that set a precedent for a new generation of City towers, and 52 Lime Street ‘The Scalpel’, a landmark office tower that enhanced connectivity between city blocks and introduced a new public plaza. The successful planning application for Seventy Gracechurch Street will see a significant new tower constructed above a retrofitted office.
