Guy Woodhouse

Guy joined Piercy&Company in 2012. He was promoted to associate in 2018, and studio director in 2022. He has expertise in leading large-scale residential, commercial, and mixed use developments, and in working collaboratively alongside other design professionals as part of strategic master-plans and place-making projects. He has played a key role in the successful design and delivery of a range of projects for the studio. Guy is leading Regent Quarter at King’s Cross for Endurance Land and Nan Fung. The heritage and public-realm led masterplan for the 3.5 acre site is part of the client’s ten-year vision to revitalise the estate and create a vibrant new urban quarter for London. Phase 2 is currently underway to extend and refurbish three existing buildings - Jahn Court, Times House and Laundry Buildings - to create a trio of new life science buildings for London’s Knowledge Quarter. Guy was project lead for two residential buildings at Harrow View East for Barratt London, and a series of market and affordable residential buildings for Phases 3 and 5 of East Wick & Sweetwater at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park for Balfour Beatty and Places for People. Other projects include Skipton House - a sustainable refurbishment and extension of an existing office building for London&Regional, North Kensington Library - a new civic building for the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, and Two Tabernacle Street - a RIBA award-winning office building in Islington for Durley Investment Corporation. Guy is a graduate of the Cambridge Institute of Sustainability in Leadership for the Built Environment. He is helping to lead the studio’s efforts to engage with issues around sustainability and resilience, including the organisation of internal training and expert design clinics, continued review of internal design strategies and progressing the studio’s applications for UKGBC Net Zero and Science-based Targets accreditation. Guy leads Piercy&Company’s cultural programme of events and invited lectures. This recently culminated in staging ‘Supermodels’, an exhibition of innovative architectural models that sought to engage architectural ideas with a wider audience. It received extensive coverage in both national and international design press. Outside of his professional work he has exhibited work at arts festivals both in the UK and abroad, and has been an invited design critic at the Bartlett School of Architecture, Harvard Graduate School of Design, the University for the Creative Arts, and the SEA, Cape Town.

Why This Matters

What You'll Learn:

What makes a life science hub attractive to an investor, and what local efforts can life science hubs prioritise to secure future investment.
The appropriate amount of due diligence required ahead of selecting a site to develop on.
How to prioritise the speed of delivery without compromising quality.
How facilities can be designed to attract exciting tenants and drive innovation.
Drug discovery, vaccine development and other innovation in life sciences in 2023, and how this has impacted life sciences real estate innovation in design in space.

How You'll Do More Business: Despite the current economic environment, demand for Life Sciences real estate has continued to encourage significant investment. According to DTRE take-up for science-related real estate across the golden triangle of London, Oxford and Cambridge totalled 1.26M SF in 2022, the highest figure in the past five years. Life science and biotech companies based in the golden triangle have also managed to secure £2B of funding over the same time period — ahead of pre-pandemic levels. The combination of these factors, alongside a continued supply demand imbalance have continued to attract vast quantities of investment from domestic and international companies in 2023... but will this continue into 2024? Hear from our expert speakers on the opportunities and challenges of attracting investment as a life sciences hub moving forward, the appropriate considerations required before embarking on development, and how to listen to your tenants to future proof your lab space.
