Ken Hood
Director

Ken joined Hopkins in 1994 and was made a Director in 2007. Ken has expertise in workplace, healthcare, and civic buildings, and was instrumental in the design and delivery of Hackney Town Hall, a BREEAM 'Excellent' building designed around a central atrium, known as the 'One Stop Shop', where local residents can come to receive help and information, or just to use the café.

In 2013 Ken was a key part of our team on Brent Civic Centre, a new hub and heart for the local community which was the first building of its kind to achieve a BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ rating for its environmental credentials. He oversaw a huge programme of public consultation which ensured that the building met the needs of its local communities.

More recently Ken has been overseeing the teams working on the delivery of the 5-Star Peninsula London Hotel. This highly complex project on a sensitive site at Hyde Park Corner in London is arranged around a central courtyard containing a pair of beautiful maple trees and climbing plants up the facade.

Ken is passionate about working with clients and consultants to formulate and develop project briefs, and engaging with key stakeholders at consultation events.
