Neil McLaughlin  

Neil is an AABC and RIBA SCA conservation-accredited architect with over 15 years’ experience as a qualified architect working across a range of sectors and building types throughout London and beyond.

Neil is passionate about historic buildings and understanding their evolution, including finding sensitive ways to improve their use and functionality, and has a collaborative approach to working with clients, contractors, and the wider design team.

Neil joined Purcell in 2023 as an Associate Partner, and continues to work on a broad range of projects involving historic and listed buildings across all sectors. These include holistic masterplans for country houses and estates to increase revenue generation, detailed condition and repair surveys, and commercial and education projects comprising both conservation and sensitive change.

As well as working on multiple award recognised projects including the Stirling Prize shortlisted London Bridge Station, Neil has been the conservation architect jury member for several awards including the RIBA Awards several times, and has been an invited Lead Assessor for the AABC since 2023.

Neil especially enjoys working on buildings from the Georgian period, and uses his expertise and experience as a conservation architect in voluntary roles as a Trustee for the Friends of Highgate Cemetery and as a Guardian for the SPAB Casework Committee.
