Architectural practice Warren and Mahoney has boosted its senior leadership team with the promotions of six principals and six associate principals across the practice.
Sarah Hewlett-Diprose, David Mahon, Vajini Pannila and Peta Nichols are stepping into principal roles in the Auckland team, while at the Christchurch studio, Joseph Hampton and Fiona Short will be promoted to principal.
Warren and Mahoney employs more than 400 staff across seven integrated studios; Auckland, Tauranga, Wellington, Christchurch, Queenstown, Sydney, and Melbourne.
Hewlett-Diprose is an education sector specialist, she has led award-winning education projects, and is currently chair of Learning Environments Australasia (LEA) NZ Chapter - a community of more than 800 professionals sharing best practice on the design, building, and use of innovative learning environments.
Mahon has more than 20 years' architectural experience; most recently he has overseen the delivery of complex buildings including the New Dunedin Hospital and was project architect for the retail podium in the new Commercial Bay development.
Pannila returned to Warren and Mahoney's Auckland studio last year following 14 years in the UK, most recently working for Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners where she was a lead architect for a major mixed-use commercial development in central Bogota, among other projects.
Nichols also joined the Auckland studio last year, having recently returned from the UK. As an associate director of London-based architectural practice Buckley Gray Yeoman, she led project teams to deliver high-quality projects across the office, multi-residential, and hotel sectors.
Hampton joined W&M in 2006 and has worked on a range of projects, including in the health, tertiary, and civic and community sectors. He has also represented the Canterbury region on the Board of the NZ Institute of Architects.
Short joined Warren and Mahoney’s Christchurch studio as an architectural graduate. Her recent project involvement has ranged from master planning to bespoke residential designs with an emphasis on feasibility and concept design development.
In addition, Edwin Ipsen, Paul Morrison, Divya Purushotham, Peter Westbrook and Dominic Plume have been promoted to associate principals in the Auckland studio, as has Jonathan Goss in Queenstown.
Warren and Mahoney managing director John Coop said: “We congratulate these individuals and thank them for the significant contribution they are making to the practice.”
